What rack am I in?

[woodslanding]

I have a lot of deliberately identical patches across multiple racks. It would be nice if the patch editing window showed which rack (and maybe slot) I was editing. For now, I'm often not sure which patch I edited, and need to select a patch, drill down to the subpatch, and see if the edit is there. If it isn't there, I have to figure out where exactly it is.

I try to always edit the patch in the lowest number rack, but sometimes I'm in another one and don't realize, and sometimes there's a good reason for editing the version in another rack.

Something like:

Rack1>Slot2>MySubpatch>DetailPatch

or
1.2.MySubpatch.DetailPatch

where I currently just see:

DetailPatch

Also, when I navigate from the search window, there's really no way to know which rack I'll end up in....

While I'm at navigation in the patching window.... It would be nice to be able to use the stock browser window commands, alt-left and alt-right to navigate the patching window's < and >.

I'll also note that when navigating this way, the above clues to location would be even more helpful, especially with deeply nested subpatches that may be superficially similar....

And along the same lines.... when I use the search function, I get the rather unhelpful [order=nnnnn] indicator. The channel and slot would be much more helpful information. I'll also note that the search window stays on top of other applications, so I had to close it to finish writing this post:

I'll implement what we call "breadcrumb" in the patching window and the inspector.

Great. breadcrumb seems to be a very nice solution.

Cool.
