Summary0008633: LV2-presets are not deleted if the directory .lv2 is a symlink
DescriptionIf the directory ~/.lv2 is a symlink that refers to another volume with ext4 or NTFS, then presets from LV2 plugins will no longer be deleted, and the 'save' button (for presets) will also stop working.

This behavior is not observed in version 5.12.

Likely a due to a change in https://github.com/lv2/lilv/ (ardour does not directly handle preset save/load/replace/delete)

However the proper solution seems to be to set LV2_PATH to directly point to your external folder, instead of sym-linking ~/.lv2
