[PD] Simple PD GUI enhancement - like Max Toolbox

[Tahiroglu Tahiroglu]

Hello Batuhan (tekrar merhaba indeed)

PD internal messages will even let you create your objects, connect them each other, create abstractions and so on not only through another PD patch, but through your terminal window as well. 

You can create your custom toolbox with bunch of abstractions and load them into your patches and you dont need any javascript either. 

As they mentioned earlier in the list DesireData will be definitely your choice and next test release will ( hopefully) have Turkish language choice as well:)

Koray.
