[PD] setting directory of root canvases

Hi,

Is it possible to set the path of a root canvas (something like canvas_setdir())? Or alternatively, is it possible to set the path any new root canvas will get before it is generated? It seems this path initially is set to the path pd was started in.

The code generates an object by calling new_anything() without prior calling of canvas_setcurrent(). That seems to allocate a new root canvas with the object inside. I would like to set the path of that canvas. I know that using canvas_setcurrent() before generating the object will make it inheriting the path from the enclosing canvas, but the object I'm generating has to reside in a new root canvas.

2. is there a function to retrieve the canvas of an object through

the objact's handle?
