Store Package in File on Save

Toggling this menu item changes the inclusion state of the package. If this menu has a checkmark next to it then the package will be included inside the configuration file when it is saved. If this menu item does not have a checkmark next to it then the package will NOT be included inside the configuration file when it is saved

If you have chosen to include the packages in the configuration file, and the file is not locally accessible then VIPM will perform a download of the packages before they are saved. If this is the case, then it might take a few minutes to complete the save.

Saving the package inside the configuration file allows easy distribution of your package configurations between computers that do not have network access.
