I get portevents for every parameter change sent from the UI, even when there is no automation at all.
The correct flow is: The Plugin UI asks host to change a parameter. The host then either allows this or not. If the change succeeded, host informs the plugin UI about the new value.
As for telling the Plugin host that the user is touching the control you need to implement https://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui#touchDone that a year ago.
good. Is the code available? Would be nice to have something to test.
As for managing windows, Ardour itself behaves in way I find really annoying. When you close a plugin window it is not just hidden, it's destroyed. So when the plugin UI is opened again it has to be reconstructed from scratch. Ardour is just decent enough to remember its previous position, but that's all.
For AU and VST3 there there is a preference for this. The default is to just hide the window. LV2 does not have this option.
