Custom properties for objects - nemyax - 05-08-2013
The #we record contains a field called pst. Is this field supposed to be used for storing plugin-specific data associated with an object?
Is the value lost for objects being added through the Combine operation? Is it duplicated through Separate?

Test or read the code :-)
I don't think anyone remembers that code, so you can figure it out by yourself just as easily as
we can.

Quote:Is the value lost for objects being added through the Combine operation? Is it duplicated through Separate?As dgud said, you should try it out.
By checking the code, Combine uses wings_we:merge/1 that will merge all #we's pst values (merge_plugins/1), while Separate uses wings_we
eparate/1 for create back all previous combined #wes, but it do nothing with that merged pst.So, it's probable that all separated #we's can have the same pst data - that one assigned to the combined #we.

Thanks. Certainly I will test it as soon as I get round to that particular to-do item. I was asking in case someone had the answer at their fingertips.
