Hmm, ".._new()" is only called when an object is instantiated. If you save, close, then re-open a patch, the new() routine has to get called again fo rthe new instantiation, but as long as you keep the patch open, you should be able to save it all you wish.
There is a problem in that Pd doesn't warn objects properly when they're getting freed... the free() routine gets called right before the object is destroyed adn you don't have a chance to open a save() dialog if you want to save internal state separately. I want to fix that for a future release.

Actions to be taken on object creation can be put in the "new" routine. However, perhaps there are examples of actions that should be taken for all new objects, but, if it's being restored from a file, should only happen once the object is fully connected and the rest of the patch is intact.
I have a question regarding this: At which times is the new-routine called? I'm asking, because in my rx7~ external, I can load a sound bank with a "load" message. If I then save the whole patch, the loaded bank disapears and has to be loaded again. I suspect, that "..._new" is called again, when the patch gets saved. Is this correct?
If yes, I'll have to take precautions to keep the bank alive...
