At least in Pd-l2ork, clicking "New" in the "File" menu sends a series of messages to Pd to set the filename/dir,create a new canvas, and "pop" the new canvas. So I'm guessing Chris has figured out he can send thesemessages in Pd-extended 0.42 to manually create a new patch with whatever name/directory he wants. Same thing happens in Pd-Vanilla, except it's a single "menunew" message sent to Pd and the canvas gets named,created and pop'd as a result. Pd-l2ork has [preset_node] and [preset_hub], but Pd-l2ork currently only runs on GNU/Linux. -Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan, menunew did the trick!
IOhannes: it creates and opens a new patch -- first argument is the filename, second argument is the path.
according to the source code it does not. it simply sets the filename and path for the next to-be-created abstraction.
It turns out this is very handy for dynamically creating abstractions, e.g. for state-saving/presets :)
hmm, why don't you just use a text-file (or multiples thereof) for presets? dynamic patching can generally be avoided.
e.g. marian's [kollabs] is a very powerful Pd-vanilla state-saving system, that doesn't rely on any undocumented features.
