HI I cant remember if there is an answer to this but has anyone developed a module to quickly tag and flag modules for removable in a quicker way than vcv currently handles this? My goal would be to tag modules for deletion that I dont use or want and then with a button remove them from vcv
I don’t know if there’s a module to do this. You can’t really delete individual modules - they are always part of some plugin, but they can be hidden, by adding "hidden": true in the plugin.json for the plugin the module is from.
IIRC there are downsides to hiding modules. At the least, if you decide to use one after all, you have to go back and remove the hidden attribute.
This kind of thing is best submitted to VCV as a support request. People have been asking for improvements to the browser for a long time, but we haven’t seen much movement from VCV.
That said, Andrew has told me that they keep track of requests submitted to support, and with enough “votes” it may rise to the level of being implemented. For such requests, best to keep it to a single request, don’t complain, but quantify the impact it would have for you (same for a bug/feature report for anything)..
I do the opposite to have a more constraint/fruitfull use of the library:
I select view favorites and mark the modules I want to use. The rest stays out of view.
