I know that what I do is a test bench. That's how I put it.
We are trying to find solutions to portability.
It is something fundamental. If it does not exist in the world of proprietary music software, it is precisely because of the proprietary philosophy.
In free software, being able to port and share should be a priority.
Curiously, this occurs in the proprietary framework with music software. Not so with graphic arts software. And the fact is that music has always been strongly linked to copyright and commercial interests. Graphic creation is much more generic and practical than music (signage, documentation, training...) and subjecting software to such strict privatization would have been dysfunctional.
From the beginning, it has been possible to encapsulate graphic arts projects. They even had to invent a partially editable and universal encapsulable format, PDF. Because if not... you can't work. It's unviable. Projects should be able to be shared without losing their integrity.
I don't know if I'll be able to solve anything. For now I'm learning a lot. In fact, I'm now starting to realize many virtues of LV2 (I just published a reflection in the thread I created about portability related to this), such as being able to create presets that behave almost like plugins with their own identity.
But learning and realizing things is a slow road...
