you don't. the canvas is per instance (more or less), whereas the filename is per class. you cannot generate info from the general class for instance-specific data. e.g. i cannot derive "hans-christoph" if i only know "steiner" (at least in austria, "steiner" is a common name). fgma.r IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
