Similarly with encapsulation, I am still thinking that being able to encapsulate a selected group of objects into a pd object while preserving the connections would be great.  From there, it's not too difficult to create an abstraction either.

 

I really like that justification of 'decoupling' the iemGUI, Hans.  That's EXACTLY why it's a good idea.

Actually I think opening isn't such a problem, saving as bundle
however is. If I have lots of abstractions in different (lib)dirs,
then currently I'd need to search then by hand.

Chris McCormick's collection has some of these. (I also have but they
aren't published yet because I'm lazy...)
