i'm using ubumenus to choose among various folders of media and 'plug-ins'. as far as i can tell, pattrstorage won't save the path of the folder for autopopulating an ubumenu. This seems like an incomplete "pattrification" of the ubumenu object. Yes, I can use another ubumenu in the patch to save the entire path, or save the entire path within the menu itself, but if i'm going to make separate ubumenus, then what's the use of the prepend and concatenate option? Maybe the solution would be to allow pattrstorage to store the entire path (i.e. the name of the file stored in the ubu + the concatenated path) when the ubu is in prefix concatenate mode.......

While it seems as if pattrstorage values are generally only one value (presumably so as to make interpolation possible), this appears not to be the case with some objects, such as rslider....Storing the prefix value and the menu value together in pattrstorage might therefore be possible?

i also don't think it's possible to query the ubu to tell you what path it has loaded.....

If you change the prefix, you need to send it to ubumenu, if you just 

pass it through a pattr, you should have your pattrification of the

If you change the prefix, you need to send it to ubumenu, if you just 
pass it through a pattr, you should have your pattrification of the 
path... All you need is there already...
