Hi. I've been googling a bit and looking through the
library of objects<br clear="none">
that comes with pd-extended, but can't seem to find a
way to get the<br clear="none">
name of the patch from within the patch. Anyone know of
a nice method to<br clear="none">
do this?<br clear="none">
</blockquote>
I would use [namecanvas] for this. For example you could
have an object<br clear="none">
like [namecanvas $0-mypatch] and then you can send
messages to the patch<br clear="none">
using e.g. [s $0-mypatch].<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">

Thanks, but this won't work for me, as the name has to be
the actual<br clear="none">
patch name.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I've understood that there might be a fix in the svn version
of<br clear="none">
[canvasname], apart of iemguts, which would allow getting
the name of<br clear="none">
the top level patch.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The reason I had for this is I wanted to have uniquely named
patches<br clear="none">
that have a common save mechanism, which looks up the
savefile based on<br clear="none">
the unique patch name.<br clear="none">
I was always going to create these uniquely named patches in
another top<br clear="none">
level patch, so I can get around this problems by adding an
argument for<br clear="none">
the patch, which is the same as the patchname, and let the
save<br clear="none">
mechanism look up the filename that way.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I initially would have wanted the uniquely named patch to be
able to be<br clear="none">
opened as is, but that's not a major problem.<br clear="none">
</blockquote>
<br clear="none">
Currently I think the only way to do this is
[filename(---[canvasinfo], which is only in Pd-l2ork.<br clear="none">
