    For Vegetation Studio Pro we need Burst, Jobs, Collections and Mathematics. I thought if Jobs depends on Collections and Mathematics, Collections on Burst, it would be sufficient to install the Jobs package. It is. However, the dependent packages which are implicitly installed don't show up as installed:

    Is this intended? On the one hand it makes sense because if I remove Jobs the implicit ones are removed as well. On the other hand it's confusing though.

    Hi @Rowlan !

    Packages installed per dependencies (Mathematics, Collections, Burst in your case) are effectively not shown as "installed" in your project. But they are part of your project.

    This is a known issue and it is on our radar.

    We are working to provide visual information to users for dependent packages.

    And effectively, if you installed them directly, you lock yourself to the specific version (no updates possible. If Jobs removes its dependency on Burst in an update, you re screwed).

    Be patient, we are working on it.

    Regards,

    Manu
