Schubi63 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi folks, I couldn't find an option to expand / collapse all child-groups/child-layers when pressing the little arrow button in front of a group/layer that contains child objects. I know this function from Phxxxxxop, and used it a lot to rapidly collapse all expanded child-elements and quickly get an better overview of the layer hierarchy. Phxxxxxop provides that functionality by pressing alt+click. And if you have used it - the next alt-click causes the opposite (e.g. expand all). I liked and used it quite often. Cheers guy, Stefan.

hawk Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 If you right-click and choose "Expand Selection" or "Collapse Selection" it will apply to all child objects. Not the best solution, but it's there. Holding a modifier key (option) like in Finder's list view would be better.

I really did not know, that the functionality has already been implemented, because in my German version this functionality has been named(translated) with "Auswahl erweitern" and "Auswahl reduzieren". To be honest, I would not have been aspected this functionality behind these two option. So thanks a lot for mentioning this. And I still hope that one day (nearly) every function of the app will be customizable with shortcuts. Cheers and, thanks hawk.

maarten_meer_ Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would like to see this expand/collapse all fucntionality for other panels as well, e.g. the Assets, Character or Paragraph Panel! Schubi63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zantafio Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 +1 And I would expect it to behave the same way Finder does when it displays a folder content in list view: you simply hold the ALT key when you click the triangle and every folders and sub-folders within collapse/expand. (I bet a lot of you didn't know that about Finder, am I right?) Aammppaa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
