Yes, that's right.
This is the reason why I used to put UI canvases of abstractions in sub-patches of the abstraction and open them on request. That is the abstraction gets a bang somehow (inlet or receive) and in turn opens its subpatch.
There may be other messages but that's the way I did.

Hi, thanks but that only seems to work for subpatches, not for abstractions...
I have two abstractions:
[avat 0]
[avat 1]
which load 'avat.pd' of course, with args 0 and 1 respectively - any suggestions as to how I'd get these to open at startup?
thanks
Nick

Why should save the parent canvas with the subcanvas open or send a "vis 1" message to the subcanvas.
If you have [pd my-subcanvas]
[loadbang] ---> [; / [pd-my-subcanvas vis 1\
In my experience PD can be quite boring regarding these things. Sometimes PD seems able to redraw correctly a subpatch only at the second run. Really, it is funny but it almost deterministic.

Hi all,
Dumb question that continues to fox me and that has been covered before... what determines the canvases that open when one starts up a patch? I have a top level canvas that should open two abstraction canvases; I can't seem to get this to happen.
Cheers
