BUG?: Cardinal does not notify host of patch changes, allowing host to exit without warning user of unsaved changes.

Host: Reaper v6.34 Cardinal: 23.10 Pop OS (Linux)

To reproduce:

  • Add cardinal as a VST in Reaper.
  • Save the Reaper project (RPP) file.
  • Add a module to the patch bay in the Cardinal VST instance.
  • Close the reaper project (without saving). EXPECTED: Reaper (or any other host) should be aware that the plugin has changed and should emit a dialog to warn that your changes haven’t been saved. ACTUAL: Reaper exits without emitting warning. Your changes are now lost.

NOTE: Following the steps above in VCV will cause Reaper to warn you before exiting. I think the difference is that when adding a module, VCV is updating a VST parameter and notifying Reaper of the change. This way Reaper knows to warn the user that his changes are unsaved.
