@heyok @heyok No, but it does return the reference that you can then use in messages........ that tk/tcl will understand and interpret......... it does not care about the filename.......... you could have a sub-window open........
Try this........... it's quite powerful......
stuff.pd
If you want the canvas name as a symbol (in extended) then use [iemguts/canvasname-abs]
If you want it in vanilla I think it will have to be an abstraction, with its name added as an argument..... and then you can bang $n into a symbol atom..
What do you want to do with the canvas name?
You will need sys_gui in your path for vanilla.........

Hello,
Thanks for this answer. I downloaded iemguts-0.1. I added the folder and the help folder.

I am a little concerned about doing anything else that could crash or make pd inoperable as I am using it.

I am on a apple running 10.10.5 with pd. 0.43.4-extended.

I do not need to call up the file names, but it could be useful.

Any help would be appreciated.

William
