I also have many other patches in the same folder.

I would like to open/save a test-maxpatch within the main patch.

If I use the name of other patch as an object (abstract), I have to reopen this abstract, in order to edit it.

So I have just tested with opendialog JSON.

In this case, I have to select a file each time.

How can I open another patch within a patch?

It is very inconvenient.

In your main patch, right-click on the subpatch you want to open. select 'Object'-> 'open original "yourPatchName"'.

load filename (message)
pcontrol (object)
