• many libraries use their own abstractions as bricks for other abstractions
• pd patches are usually light (< 1 mo) unless big big tables are stored
• finding and sorting unused components is a long task

-> include the whole library

Dear pd-users,

is there a possibility to send a message to pd to get the used abstractions and externals (beside vanilla) of an open patch?

the reason for this is, i just started to use pdparty on an ipad (very successfully). And just for now, i transferred only the used abstractions to the ipad. but i use more and more of them... and i'm not sure if it is a clever idea to transfer the complete libraries because of concerns about the memory on an ipad. Are my concerns redundant?

thanks for some advice

as mentioned by baptiste, your concerns are indeed most likely ungrounded. since you are on iPad, you cannot use any externals (as in: compiled, binray objects) anyhow (this is a limitation of iOS), which leaves you only with abstractions (plain text files), which are usually *very* small.

about finding them: start Pd with "-nostdpath -noprefs", so Pd will not pre-load any libraries and won't have any search paths. all objects that "couldn't create" are non-builtins.
