Description
Love the VSTs automation possibillities, but there is a small annoyment. When a knob is automated, it will 'name' the automationtrack as the Array-pos eg an automationtrack could get the 'name' veSTige>24. Is the actual knob-label-handle not available? It would be serious better if the auto-track was named as concanated string: Preset+":"+knob-label
eg the user would see "Synth1: FilterSaturation", and not "veSTige>24"
At least the track naming shoud be "Synth1: 24", if there is no handle to the knob-label.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how VST knob automation tracks receive their current names and whether the knob label is available there; done means automation tracks use the preset and knob label, or the array position as the fallback.
