This allows Ardour to re-open previously shown plugins,
and toggle externalUI.
This worked in the distant past, before Ardour 3.3 introduced
the Ardour Window Manager.
This is mostly a simple lexical search+replace but the absence of operator< for
std::weak_ptr<T> leads to some complications, particularly with Evoral::Sequence
and ExportPortChannel.
* allow gtk_pianokeyboard to respond to y-axis click position
and include MIDI velocity with note-on signal
* add configuration settings to virual-keyboard
min/max velocity, keyboard-layout
* add a CC7 controller knob
Previously preset-browser was only used instead of "generic control"
display if a plugin does not have any controls (but presets).
This allows for showing a dedicated window..

Do that by wrapping the packed controls box in a ScrolledWindow and
making it request the same width than the box but capped to 90% of the
screen width.
Also, when the box width exceeds the maximum value, try again with
one-letter automation buttons in case the reduced width avoids showing a
scroll bar.
When there was a knobtable in the ControlUI, the behavior of the
automation state button changed by displaying one-char state as in track
headers. Factor out that logic to depend on a new boolean property of
the ControlUI, which should be set with set_short_autostate().
This regroups sizing logic in a single place and avoids future
discrepancies between the actual caption and the size allocated for it,
when several use-cases for smaller buttons are added.
At the point of creation, the automate_button size request is wrong
since it has not the correct style yet. Instead of trying ugly hacks to
fix that, connect to the knob's size_request signal and get the button's
requisition only when needed. If the system font changes to one that has
different extents (even if the point size is the same), the UI will thus
correctly update.
By passing the current text of the automation button we can make the
dropdown menu align with the current mode. This will only work for
full-size automation buttons, not when use-knob is true, but in that
case it feels wrong to popup on top of the button anyway.
Also make the menu show on mouse down like a real dropdown.
The existing code relies on AutomationControls for getting parameter
changes and update the UI accordingly. One case where this doesn't yet
work is preset loading, where ARDOUR::Plugin is responsible for actually
loading the preset but doesn't notify the changes to AutomationControls.
Since the input_controls vector now contains all ControlUI's that rely on
AutomationControls to get updates, just listen to Plugin::PresetLoaded()
and trigger an update of all elements in input_controls.
This is temporary until a better solution is devised to make
AutomationControls aware of preset loading.
The code connected the callback to the PropertyChanged signal from the
plugin once per filepath control created. Should the plugin have several
files to open, this would be at best wasteful and at worst racy.
Connect the callback a single time, since the same callback handles all
property updates that we're interested in. Also rename the methods,
members and typedefs so that it's clear what the code is trying to do.
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
