GetAsText, in scripting at least, does return the "B:" prefix.
But SetAsText ignores it.
OTOH, SelectObj takes it.
si = Application
sel = si.Selection
Application.SelectObj("XSI_Man", "BRANCH", "")
tmp = sel.GetAsText()
print tmp
# B:XSI_Man
sel.Clear()
si.SelectObj(s)
print sel.GetAsText()
# B:XSI_Man

For every item in the Selection object, there's .BranchFlag property
which will return 1 if it was branch selected, or 0 if not.
Perhaps build your own GetAsString equivalent where you prefix "B:"
before any FullName that is branch-selected?

Hello, list!
I have a command that clears the selection as a side effect. I
want to memorize the selection before calling it, so I can restore
it later.
I tried to keep the string from the GetAsString() method and then
restore it via SetAsString(), but that didn't seem to work for
branch select.
Right now I'm using the GetArray() method and later on I'm adding
all the CRefs to the selection. This seems to keep the selection
for all cases that I've tried, but there's an annoying side
effect. Every time I have polygons selected, the selection filter
is changed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
