I have seen other developers use techniques like the following:

At some point when you aren’t allowed to set parameters, issue a call to: [-myPlugin performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(setSpecialParams:) withObject:whateverObjectYouNeed waitUntilDone:NO]; Then in -setSpecialParams:, you can use the FxCustomParameterActionAPI to start an action, then set parameters as you like, then call endAction:.

What this does is performs whatever selector you choose on the main UI thread. The calls to startAction/endAction ensure that the app does the right housekeeping for you to start changing parameter values.

Let me know if that works for you.

That looks good, I will give that a go. And for regular checks for synchronising I think I could use NSTimer, which also happens on the GUI thread, together with your hint using beginAction and endAction I should be good to go. Thanks, I will get back if I run in trouble...
