Current tasks / bugs

Completed tasks / bugs fixed
- We can now add new folders and new actors to the tree. Unfortunately, the tree will not re-expand correctly because of (I think) an incorrect thread model within ptolemy. When you call for a change request to the model, you can associate a listener with it to wait for the change to complete. I did that, and when the change completes I re-expand the tree to the correct location. The problem is that the call to the change listener is not the last call that the change request thread makes. It refreshes the tree after it says the change is complete, causing the tree to re-collapse. I haven't figured out a good way around this, so right now, the tree re-collapses after you've made your change which is really annoying.
