Preset browser selection reset on project load

[David Healey]

If I open my project, and select Preset A. Then I hit compile, Preset A will still be loaded but the preset browser's state will have been reset. The same thing happens when reopening a DAW session with the plugin loaded.

This is a bit weird from a user's point of view.

@David-Healey yes this has always confused users for us...until we built our own preset browser...perhaps thats the only answer..?

Wait... so what happens in the DAW? Obviously hitting compile isn't part of the flow here, so what's the confusing part for the users?

Glad to hear about this now before I release a plugin. Hopefully we can sort it!

@dannytaurus Hitting compile simulates the same behaviour.

Open the preset browser and load a preset
Save your DAW session
Reopen the DAW session
Open the preset browser
The preset you loaded is still loaded but not selected in the preset browser
It has always been this way

I had my new best friend, Claude, take a look at it. PR

I haven't tested it with expansions yet, but with regular presets it's working here.

@David-Healey David,
is this committed now in the develop branch?

[David Healey]

@jeffd I've made the PR but it hasn't been merged yet.
