I found a solution by updating one of my externals. I upgraded [else/dir] to be able to get the parent's directory, and I'm using dynamic patching to create [declare -path "parent's dir"]. I imagine this is impossible with vanilla, but I'm good now.

hi, i have a player abstraction and I want it to find files in the parent's patch folder.

sure, i know i can use [declare ./] in the parent path, but I was hoping to have this hard coded inside the abstraction.

Is there a vanilla way of doing this?

and how about a suggestion to make this possible inside [declare]?

cheers
