I'll be travelling on Monday and can make a PR while sitting around.
(I'm currently afk, but isn't there already something like this in the
filename handling parts of [file]?)
Yes, there is. [file isabsolute] should be trivial to implement.
add [file cwd]
(and probably allow it to also *set* the cwd, not just query it)
Yes, why not. Should be easy to do with chdir() resp. _chdir()
add [file patchdir]
(I would consider it a feature if that functionality was provided by [file]
rather than [pdcontrol] (which could keep it for legacy reasons))
+1. On GitHub I have already proposed [file resolve]:
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1539. The difference is
that it resolves any path onto the patch directory. Sending a bang would
output the patch directory itself (= [file patchdir]).
[file patchdir] would be the other way round: it's main purpose is to
get the patch directory, but as an extra feature it should probably also
allow to resolve a file path (because such a common task shouldn't
require several objects).
Both would essentially provide the same things. IMO, [file resolve]
would be more intuitive because after all that's what people likely want
to do when they ask for the current patch directory.

I think what we actually need is something like [file isabsolute] and
[file isrelative]! That would be a trivial but very useful addition.
yes.
the solution I like best so far is:
- add [file isabsolute]
(I'm currently afk, but isn't there already something like this in the
filename handling parts of [file]?)
- add [file cwd]
(and probably allow it to also *set* the cwd, not just query it)
