| 61 | Investigate use of ForceRender() in render classes (e.g. arrowrenderer) in the context of a overall GUI architecture design review that includes the control exec | john | open | 1/7/16 | Works in general. Exception is edits to transfer function window, which for some reason aren't propagating up events to main QWidget. Hence, ForceRender still exists in this code. |

Defaults will only apply to some settings, indicated by an asterick, etc. | alan | open | 8/19/15 | Discussion needed, e.g. what settings will get asterisks? Which sub-tabs will get the buttons? Will make-default apply to the whole tab or just the sub-tab? |
| 60 | Refactor dynamic memory use in params and supporting (i.e. XmlNode) classes so that memory is freed by memory creator (current scheme has leaks). | John | open | 1/7/16 | |
