Parameter Settings and Task list management

An OC document is a collection of 'Task' objects. Documents can be written to files with the extension 'OcDoc'.
An OC task contains data including an array of images (bitmaps).
Tools can be applied to modify and complete the task data.

The task list allows to manage the document, to add, remove, reposition, rename task data.
Entire document or single task data can be copied and pasted, or saved and load to/from disk.
The example below shows the elements of list entries.
