Summary0008280: Plugin presets can be saved but not loaded, with default configuration
DescriptionSaving presets for LV2 plugins works as expected (they appear in my ~/.lv2) folder, but after restarting ardour6 none of the saved presets appear in the preset list.

The forum comment at https://discourse.ardour.org/t/saving-plugin-presets-programmatically-lua-midi-osc/100482/23 gives a workaround: set LV2_PATH to include $HOME/.lv2 before starting ardour6.

It seems wrong that Ardour saves data by default in a location which it doesn't read by default. Can we change the default LV2_PATH to include `$HOME/.lv2` ?
Steps To ReproduceSteps I took using Ardour 6.0.0 on Fedora 32, built from the source tarball:

1. Start ardour6, create a project, create a track and add an LV2 plugin.
2. Save a preset for the plugin.
3. Restart ardour
4. Open the same plugin UI, look in vain for the preset that you saved.

TagsNo tags attached.

This can be worked around as described here: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/how-to-set-an-environment-variable-when-starting-an-application/3724/4

Your problem would not occur with the build of ardour from ardour.org

It is caused by using a version of liblv on your system that wasn't compiled to search in ~/.lv2. The version used in the official build does this correctly.

Thanks for the information. I'm using Fedora 32 so I guess a change is needed in the Fedora package. I'll open an issue there instead.
