If you place the js object with the same script in a subpatcher, the attribute seems to return an empty string.

I suspect this might be a known issue, but I can’t find it in the archives.

report a filepath from a subpatch.
i think this is expected behavior? frankly, i’ve never liked it,
because it means i can’t hide the thispatcher object in a subpatch.

I assume filepath is only available for patchers that are actually saved to disk, i.e. abstractions and top patchers.

To get the file path of the top patcher from inside a subpatcher you need to traverse up until you reach the top patcher and take the filepath property of that one..

Ah of course. I guess this.patcher.parentpatcher.filepath will work then. I’ll give it a try.
