Special fields: full path to parent directory

I needed access to the full path of the parent directory where a flac image of a rip is located in order to pass it to CUETools for verification. To my surprise only the parent directory name is available via the special field %directoryname% but not the full path to that parent directory. I see that under properties there I have "folder name" which is exactly what I need. So I've tried $info(foldername) and $info(folder name) but both didn't work.

Q: is there an easy way to have the absolute path to the parent directory where a flac image file is located? Else this would be a really good variable/field to have in a future version of foobar2000.

Oops - just saw that there is a $directory_path(X) function which does exactly the job - never mind....
