Ability to traverse upwards in namespace using relative addresses #397

Open lossius opened 8 years ago

It would be useful to be able to traverse upwards in the namespace when using relative addresses in a similar way to what you can do in Terminal. E.g. if you know that there's a model one level up named the_other that contains a parameter named distant, this could be reached by a TTReceive (or j.receive) with the address ../the_other/distant.

this is obviously a powerful feature ! however relative address are mainly handled in JamomaMax and each kind of external (j.receive, j.send, j.remote, ...) build an absolute address considering the model:address value it has around.

so, as it is design, this sounds possible but we should take care of the .. case in many places.
