<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that what is happening is that when an
object is read from file it is given a unique ID, however, internally
generated objects are also given a 'internally' unique ID. These IDs
can overlap (i guess). So to reduce the confusion, external datablocks (those
considered non-local, possibly read from file) are given local IDs when
make_local() is called on the datablock. When external datablocks are
linked to an object a copy of the external datablock with a unique internal ID
is generated and linked to the object while the usercount of the external block
is decremented. Anyway I think this is in the ballpark !' ----->

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't understand about making objects local.
What does this refer to? Most of the kernel definitions for structs inside
blender have a function called make_local_X(). Does this refer to the
object not being listed in the Global
list's?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
