The problem with openpanel is that it outputs absolute paths, making the
textfile useless in case i move the entire patch (with wavfiles as well,
without modifying the relative positions), to another position or

specific object, but an entire day of googling didn't get me anywhere.
[gf/find_file] searches the pd path (list of -path options or equivalent
menu in the settings). But because it also counts the folder of the
current patch as a path item, you can use it to look for the patch
itself :
http://gridflow.ca/help/gf/find_file-help.html
If you don't want to have to type the name of the patch, you can use
[gf/canvas_filename] to find it :
http://gridflow.ca/help/gf/canvas_filename-help.html
But note that if the pd patch was open with a location relative to the
CWD, then [gf/find_file] may output a relative name, as in the screenshot.
For example, the screenshot may have been made with these Terminal
commands :
cd /home/matju/src/gridflow/doc/flow_classes
pd gf/find_file-help.pd
or
pd -send "pd open find_file-help.pd gf"
and in such cases, the reported location will be incomplete, though it can
be completed using [gf/getcwd] :
http://gridflow.ca/help/gf/getcwd-help.html
Isn't that a few useful hints ?
