Thanks both. Antoine's suggestion didn't quite work for me as I want to keep a flat folder structure. Alexandre's suggestion to use [savestate] put me on the right path, though I had to use a bit of massaging to make sure I would get a bang also the first time the abstraction is loaded (not only when opened after save), so I put together a mix of savestate and loadbang, making sure only the first bang from any of the two is taken into account at any time (see attached patch). Best, Giulio

I agree this is something that should belong to Vanilla. I had a PR for adding both [closebang] and [initbang] that had conflicts, see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/616 I made a new one for [closebang] and will find my time now to add yet another just for initbang (I don't remember having a reason not to do that, i guess I was lazy?). Now, as far as a hack goes, I believe one can try and make [savestate] behave like initbang, but I wouldn't know how they would differ and about any caveats (and I fear there might be ones). This is not something officially documented or supported. Cheers and happy new year to all here in this beloved Pd community
