Hi. I've been googling a bit and looking through the library of objects<br>
that comes with pd-extended, but can't seem to find a way to get the<br>
name of the patch from within the patch. Anyone know of a nice method to<br>
do this?<br>
</blockquote>
I would use [namecanvas] for this. For example you could have an object<br>
like [namecanvas $0-mypatch] and then you can send messages to the patch<br>
using e.g. [s $0-mypatch].<br>
<br>

Thanks, but this won't work for me, as the name has to be the actual<br>
patch name.<br>
<br>
I've understood that there might be a fix in the svn version of<br>
[canvasname], apart of iemguts, which would allow getting the name of<br>
the top level patch.<br>
<br>
The reason I had for this is I wanted to have uniquely named patches<br>
that have a common save mechanism, which looks up the savefile based on<br>
the unique patch name.<br>
I was always going to create these uniquely named patches in another top<br>
level patch, so I can get around this problems by adding an argument for<br>
the patch, which is the same as the patchname, and let the save<br>
mechanism look up the filename that way.<br>
<br>
I initially would have wanted the uniquely named patch to be able to be<br>
opened as is, but that's not a major problem.<br>

<br>
Currently I think the only way to do this is [filename(---[canvasinfo], which is only in Pd-l2ork.<br>
