Thats odd; its not a subproject and I doubt it shoud be displayed like
one.

I designed the class structure in such a form that it keeps consistent
data when adding removing nodes, but when adding removing data means
that an existing node changes who he is, then thats really odd...

Can someone with project planning experience tell me if a node should
change who he is according to the children he has?

Btw; looking at the docs I see that there is a openDialog on KPTTask,
that should not be there, KPTTask is a data object and has nothing to
do with views.
For the one who wrote that; please read up on the ModelViewController
design pattern...

Cheers!
