[Smtk-developers] Operator results with mesh changes

[TJ Corona]

Hi David,

Just curious: why do you want to store the collection’s URL in the operator result? 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. 

Sincerely,
T.J.

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?
