Make ⌥← and ← smarter (show parent folder/hidden files and deal with combined objs). Fixes #1286

[pjrobertson]

See #1287 for the discussion. This is just a new pull rebased against master

Atm hitting ← will only work for combined file objects. If you have combined say... contact objects then ← will do nothing, but that's up to the handler for 'contact' types to deal with (in 'parentOfObect:`¹ so it's not too difficult

¹ parentOfObject: may be worth adding it to the plugin dev ref under the 'code' section. And thinking about it, this should be made more clear - the methods here are for the class defined as the 'object handler' in the info.plist

ping @skurfer - here's the new altParent pull

OK, I've convinced myself that the behavior I was complaining about is actually correct, so I was going to merge this, but resolving the conflict is not as easy as I hoped. Things seem to work fine on this branch, but if I merge with master and resolve the conflict just by taking these changes, there's a bug. ⌥← shows hidden files in the selected directory (same as ⌥→) instead of going to the parent.

OK, tonight I'll try and figure out the merge conflict. Sorry for being slow to respond. Your bug should be pretty easy to fix. Probably a stray brace {} somewhere... :)

Did you ever get a chance to look at this?

[pjrobertson]

Nope, not yet… I'll get on it in the next few days :)

I've been having more fun trying to send as many emails to you as possible ;-)

OK, try this. Please do a bit of testing, and also some manual comparisons with the current HEAD. I had to basically do the whole thing from scratch so I don't know if I got it right.

Maybe we should try and merge branches quicker ;-)

I'll hold off from any changes until you've had some time to catch up :) (but take your time, no rush of course)

[skurfer]

Behavior seems right. I'll give the code a look.
