Linked objects are lost after adding to library

I consider this is develop request for library mechanism improvement.

1. Objects/Tools linked in process flow will be lost after adding to library. Tools include global list, global table, global variables, and others. As picture below, Source1 missing in new model, manual link required.

2. Since AGV module builds model in different way by using the node "AGVNetwork". Hope AGV module will get more compatibility with library in future. AStar too.

1. This is by design. If you have references to objects in your model within your Process Flow, then it can't preserve those references in a user library. A user library isn't tied to that particular model with those particular objects.

If all you want to do is copy process flow activities within the same model, just use copy/paste, not a user library.

2. I'll add this request to the dev list.

Number 1 is by design, but there is a mechanism for doing custom things with a user library object. If you use a dropscript node you can execute code that creates multiple objects and hooks them all up with a single drag.
