Hi again, and again, sorry for being lazy in my research, but I find that very, very, frequently, I have a patch loaded and am fixing bugs (or enhancing or tweaking) an abstraction that the patch uses. The only way I know of to test the changes in the abstraction, is to close the main patch and reload it. Is there an easier way? Could there perhaps be a "reload" menu item made that does this in one step?
I find it hard to beleive that this isn't a common problem - I mean, refining and tweaking abstractions for me is a very frequent activity, and unless these abstractions can be loaded on there own, there has to be a main patch that drives them. This is especially true if the abstraction has multiple instances - for example, if it implements a single voice in a polyphonic instrument. So I suspect that unless I'm missing something, everyone else must also be doing the "close"-"file/open" thing on the main patch every time they make a change.
