The signal exists to notify listeners that something outside of the host's control (e.g. a plugin's own GUI for AU or VST)
has modified a plugin parameter. Previous code had strange feedback loops and ambiguous semantics.
Significant modification of LV2 GUI updating was required.
Still to be tested for feedback loop issues: AudioUnits
When the GUI is opened the first time all is fine, focus is on the
embedded widget. However once a user presses one of the preset buttons
(Add, Save,...) there is no possibility to return focus to the
embedded widget. Ardour always 'sees' it as focus=GtkButton and passes
the event to the editor.
amend to 4cdb018 and 1d972d0
override ui_closed() behavior for lv2ui:external
Keep UI around and do not re-instantiate, but simply show it again.
(this is against the original specs but was agreed upon by various
authors and the previous behavior or Ardour.)
kx:external-ui are cleaned up after ui_closed().
Touch should allow custom plugin UIs to work properly with automation as the
generic UI does. IIRC this was requested for mixbus, however, no current
plugin UI I am aware of implements it, so it is completely untested.

Still a little bit rough around the edges, but it works. This can be tested
with the eg-sampler plugin from LV2 svn (whose UI can load different samples).

Fixes ticket #4067 (not to mention avoids having every UI that has ever been shown loaded in memory until exit time...)

Vimmers, try let c_space_errors = 1 in your .vimrc to highlight this kind of stuff in red. I don't know the emacs equivalent...

All #include statements that include a header that is a part of a library
bundled with ardour MUST use quotes, not angle brackets.
Do this:
#include "ardour/types.h"
NOT this:
#include <ardour/types.h>
Rationale:
This is best practice in general, to ensure we include the local version
and not the system version. That quotes mean "local" (in some sense)
and angle brackets mean "system" (in some sense) is a ubiquitous
convention and IIRC right in the C spec somewhere.
More pragmatically, this is required by (my) waf (stuff) for dependencies
to work correctly. That is:
!!! FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN RESULT IN BROKEN BUILDS !!!
Failure to comply is punishable by death by torture. :)
P.S. It's not that dramatic in all cases, but this (in combination with some
GCC flags specific to the include type) is the best way I have found to be
absolutely 100% positive the local ones are being used (and we definitely
want to be absolutely 100% positive on that one).
