You probably want to call canvas_makefilename(), supplying the owning canvas, not a new one. YOu can get the owning canvas using canvas_getcurrent(), but only when the object is being created (the information is not kept so your object needs to keep it itself). For a simple example, search pd/extra/bink~/bonk~.c for x->x_canvas - it gets intialized in the new() methnd and used both to create and read files.
