Not sure that  I understand the problem of the two arrays.

In B2.27, If I tryed to access to an empty array of vcol or fcol
there was an error and the exportation was stopped.

Yes, but in this case, how are you really sure that vcolors, or fcolors,
are used?

In B2.27 the hasVertexColours() function gives a security and
the infos was consistent with  the real contents of the mesh.

Povanim tests yet this mode as you show me,  but checks also
the  real contents of the mesh to avoid an fatal error during the
exportation. Actually, as you are implementing all this, there is
a possible error if user pushes vcolpaint button without vcol/fcol in
the mesh.

At least add a hasFaceColours() function in the mesh ...and a
button FacCol to delete them in the Edit Buttons Windows.
