There's [canvasinfo] in Pd-l2ork. You can use it to return either the filename
of the parent or the symbol associated with the canvas, both of which can be
used as receivers.
In Pd-extended there is also [iemguts/canvasname] (at least I think that's the
name).

Subject: [PD] a method for a subpatch to determine the name of its parent patch
Friends, please, assist me with a question.
I want to have a subpatch refer to the name of its parent patch.
The subpatch will be a gop object that can be dropped into parent patches of
varying names. The subpatch will have a list of gop abstractions that can be
automatically created in a parent patch. How can I get the name of the parent
patch from the subpatch for the subsequent [send]?
I have tried [parentdollarzero]. Does it just generate the random number
associated with the parent? This is what it looks like to me. Can this number
be used with my dynamic patching [send] in a way of which I am not aware?
On another message board, someone recommended [gf/canvas_*], but I don't have
gridflow working nor do I want to include it because I am doing this
programming for someone else.
Do any of you have solutions for me? I would greatly appreciate advice!
Cheers,
Sam
