No problems or issues here - just trying to learn...
I was wanting to just check some things concerning DLC installs, deletes, and such in TRS19 (SP3 plus) and "packaged" assets.
I created a new datafolder and installed a Payware route from the Store. I then deleted the Route to verify that assets in CM showed only base and built-in kuids once again. I then installed the route a second time. The install occured in just seconds. Boom, all the kuids were back in CM and the "Installation Date" was the date/time of the first install (which had been deleted), not the second.
1a.) Are download packages cached? Why was the 2nd install so fast?
I know that a deleted Route/asset/kuid will continue to show the "Installation Date" even though it's been deleted when viewing "Installed, False". (I see that as a positive for a couple of reasons.)
1.b) Are "deleted" assets cached? Have to be since the re-install happened in about 2 seconds.
2.) It's surprising that if a Route is re-installed the "Installation Date" remains the date of the first install, not the latest. Comments?
