hi ppl, whats the current state of things?

there were a couple of good threads and workarounds posted, i currently use

to get name of mother ship, but it would be great if ubumenu would support

i currently need to get the path of patch and add the reletive folder using

"my solution is this abstraction called "search_path" it is used thusly:;

[closebang]->[searchpath 3 folder_to_search] [closebang]->[searchpath 4

the closebang removes the path from the file prefs, the first arg is the

slot to add the path to and the second arg is the name of the folder to add,

which is relative to the main patch (the one which loads the search_path

abstraction). so the directory structure is: /Root/Main_Patch

/Root/search_path /Root/folder_to_search/ /Root/2nd_folder_to_search/;

hi ppl, whats the current state of things?
there  were a couple of good threads and workarounds posted, i currently use

to get name of mother ship, but it would be great if ubumenu would support
relative paths, or does it?

suppose i want to address
-root
--folder_a
i currently need to get the path of patch and add the reletive folder using
sprintf, like robert z said

[closebang]->[searchpath 3 folder_to_search] [closebang]->[searchpath 4
2nd_folder_to_search];

the closebang removes the path from the file prefs, the first arg is the
slot to add the path to and the second arg is the name of the folder to add,
which is relative to the main patch (the one which loads the search_path
abstraction). so the directory structure is: /Root/Main_Patch
/Root/search_path /Root/folder_to_search/ /Root/2nd_folder_to_search/;

relative-directories-in-ubumenu-and-in-general

and there is a problem with the second abxhation, there is no precedence for

filepath on anything, so i cant count on this to load before a nested file.
