So i'm working on a addon.

  • I'm creating Collections in the process and this collections (name) are store in enum ( so the user can load and unload it ).
  • I'm using collection name to find the collection, but if the user change it it wont work anymore.
  • So i could create an attribute on this collection, like : {addonname : Collection Name}
  • But that mean every time I'm loading the addon ( or every time the user is changing the name of a collection ) I had to check on all collections in blend file to refresh my enum. That's feel dirty to me.
