Dear List,
This is my first time writing here so please be gentle. :-) I'm working on a state saving system in vanilla for multiple instances of the same abstraction. I've got a good system up and running where I'm writing and reading to textfile using numerical creation arguments for the abstractions to separate the textfiles from each other. However, it would be a lot easier if the unique four digit $0 digits of the abstraction was saved with the .pd-file and not given a new number on re-booting the patch. There is probably a million scenarios where this behaviour would be not desired that I'm unaware of. But it would be nice to be able to skip giving the abstraction an argument on creation.
All best / Johan
