To PathName or Not to PathName (accessing root directory)

Questions
#1

Hi SCSynth -

I am trying to make a global variable store the name of the path, two folders above the executingPath.

I started with this:

~thisFile = PathName(thisProcess.nowExecutingPath);

But I’m not seeing any documentation for how to remove folders from the path…

Does anyone have any suggestions?

http://doc.sccode.org/Classes/PathName.html#-folderName

Call folderName once to get the parent directory of the file, and a second time to get the parent of that directory.

But you don’t strictly need PathName:

thisProcess.nowExecutingPath.dirname.dirname
