Is it possible to get the directory that this patch is operating inside another? My idea is to get the path of the parent patch, if this patch is an object embedded in another patch?

You could use javascript with the [js] object, here's some code that should work:

function bang() {
    if (this.patcher.parentpatcher) {
        outlet(0,this.patcher.parentpatcher.filepath);
    }
}


Thanks but how you manage the inlet and outlet with this script ?

By default you don't have to declare inlets or outlets in javascript. It will default to one of each and the 

 function will fire when you send one to the one inlet it instantiates with. The first argument in the 

 line sends it to the first outlet. Do you want to have more inlets/outlets in the [js] object and what do you want them to do? Or have I misunderstood something?
