Hi Miklos, well no, you dont need to use fake images. You may use the helper objects for organizing your nodes in a way that you want. It is just that the DataManager will not show this nodes. Nodes marked as "helper objects" and contain data are meant for nodes that should be rendered but not accessible by the user, e.g. the bounding box used by the ImageCropper bundle. Do not forget that the DataStorage is not a tree-like structure although the DataManager shows it in a TreeView. This is why we decided not to use "organizer" nodes any more. But feel free to change this behavior: The class QmitkDataStorageTreeModel is responsible for what is shown in the DataManager. You will find the method "SetShowHelperObjects"- here you will find the predicate "dataIsNotNull" for the data selection. Just remove it and your nodes should show up if the preference is enabled.

I am afraid I did not understand the concept behind helper nodes. I thought they are some "symbolic" nodes only for grouping other nodes, so they do not need to contain data. According to your mail I was wrong. But if they contain data like other nodes then what is the difference between helper and not helper nodes? Nothing? Is this only a flag? What I need is some nodes for grouping other nodes, but not containing data. Just for organizing the image nodes. Is there a way to achieve this? Shall I create a "fake" image (0x0 pixel) and assign it to such nodes?
