Anyway, one solution would be to have a new [path]/[canvas] object, discussed here before, that can give us the path where the patch is opened.

This wouldn't require "deep" changes to [openpanel]

As roman said, the relative notation is relative to the startup location
of Pd. On macOS, if you double click the Pd.app (or open it via "open") this is
the root directory of your system, which we all agree is pretty useless.
on other systems there are much more useful startup directories.
but that doesn't mean that the "feature" is "not happening".

Yeah, I realized that later on when Roman did better explain himself. I guess then that at least this startup location, being useless, can be thought of as sort of a bug.
