Right, I'm rofgetting, the "pd $0-x" ends up naming the canvas "pd-$0-x" which is hard to generate as a symbol. My problem with "namecanvas" is that one can free or rename the patch (or just free the namecanvas object itself in the patch) and crash Pd. I still haven't found a clean alternative... so for now, I'll have to keep the mis-designed "namecanvas" object around for the forseeable future.
well ... what about a "thiscanvas" object (or a fancier name) that sends messages to the canvas it's created on ... this way, it's easy to access the canvas without renaming it ... that's much cleaner and could replace namecanvas ...
cheers ... tim
