Unfortunately I left the house after only one coffee....  Don't ask about
the consequences....

Yeah.
I tested your patches...
I think this works if you create the array inside the table object:
[table $0-bigsample]
(it didn't work for me as well when creating simply an array named
$0-bigsample).

The tabwrite~ objects inside that patch need to have $0-bigsample argument
as well.

Attached is a solution to your problem (note that I added adc~ for testing).
Lemme know if it works...

Also, in this case you don't need to add arguments your abstractions as your
arrays get named automatically.

However, I don't know of a way of supplying creation arguments to messages
(is there a way???) so your message will not work as you expected.
Therefore, AFAIK, the bang to the [openpanel] will not work as expected (in
fact, when I was playing with this pd has returned an error saying "inlet:
no method for symbol".  I moved the openpanel into the abstraction (I did
that while replying to the message so this change is not  in the attachment,
should I have included it?) and then it worked when sending bang into the
inlet).  So my suggestion is to make an argument $1-bigsample where you
supply an argument and everything gets named after that argument (you gave
an argument anyways...) and you can use that little trick with
symbol->makefilename to make sure the message gets sent properly.  If
there's a more elegant way of doing this I'd be interested in it.
