maybe using a counter and metro object you could automate saving new versions.

you might also want to look at bb_uname from here bitsynthesis.com/pd/
to "Generate unique file names based on the date/time. "

maybe i'm not understanding the question correctly
[mod ] ¿

this is probably not what it is …
but a previous version of pdextended required xquartz https://www.xquartz.org/ or X11
i can’t remember which version it was and i believe that now it isn’t required or maybe is included
but i had to install it on osx 10.9.5

p.s. https://hcgilje.wordpress.com/vpt/ in the meantime

How to set up Pd vanilla 0.47.0 + deken + Gem 0.93.3
http://puredatajapan.info/?p=2073

[bang~] ----> [snapshot~]

?

use whatever works for you
if pdextended works use it.

to get gem to work with vanilla
what i did was go here to download a version of pdextended (i think the one i used was 0.43.4_intel)
(you might have to try a few to see which one works best for your system)

ctrl click on the icon to show package contents
go to the extra/ folder and copy any gem folder / files and move them to your copy of pd or pd folder

as other people have mentioned. (you could try the same with other folders/libraries too)

you can add the gem folder to your search path
as alexandros suggests in the other thread
in the pd menu select preferences/path/to_gem_folder
the logic behind using both [libname/object_abstraction] is that some libraries have objects that have the same name. (not in this case)
but it helps to clarify.
