# This sample script demonstrates a dynamic EnumProperty with custom icons.
# The EnumProperty is populated dynamically with thumbnails of the contents of
# a chosen directory in 'enum_previews_from_directory_items'.
# Then, the same enum is displayed with different interfaces. Note that the
# generated icon previews do not have Blender IDs, which means that they can
# not be used with UILayout templates that require IDs,
# such as template_list and template_ID_preview.
#
# Other use cases:
# - make a fixed list of enum_items instead of calculating them in a function
# - generate isolated thumbnails to use as custom icons in buttons
#   and menu items
#
# For custom icons, see the template "ui_previews_custom_icon.py".
#
# For distributable scripts, it is recommended to place the icons inside the
# script directory and access it relative to the py script file for portability:
#
#    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "images")
