Dropping a qtz into your Quartz Composer Patches folder, with published inputs and outputs (as needed), will load a patch into your Patch Creator/Library. When you want to edit it, open up the "patch" qtz, and it will load the new version in all of your qtz's that use it.
I'm not in SL this moment, so I can't comment on if the help menu referred to is talking about the same thing I'm describing.

The most useful updates would be for environments to be supported (as in, saving a bunch of GLSL environments for quick loading from the patcherator), and for an "explode/edit" function to be available from any composition, with prompts to have changes apply either globally, or just to the qtz being worked on. Also, issues that effect virtual macros not flattening correctly and being portable between systems, as well as restoration issues that can cause infinite loops are nasty. Being able to be able to pull out patch groups from the patcherator, where all of the patches pop onto a surface all connected, and as actually programmed (so that an Environment would be an environment, and that everything wouldn't just be renderers), would be extremely better. -George Toledo
