A collection holds its read and write locations, and you are free to change the collection’s write location (I think you automatically do so when you write a collection to disk). If you wish to flag that a collection’s write location has been changed, I’m not sure what component would need to decode this information. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sincerely,</div><div class="">T.J.</div><br class=""><div class="">

Is there a way to store this information in the operator's result? If not, how would you go about it? I see smtk::attribute::MeshItem, but this is only for MeshSets, not MeshCollections. I could (hackishly) use smtk::attribute::StringItem and encode the collection's UUID and URL in separate values of the same item. Or, is there a better way?<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>David</div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
