Retain Expanded/Collapsed Status

weogarth · October 6th, 2013, 02:22 PM

Admittedly, it's a small thing but I'd be ok if I didn't have to recollapse the sections I don't often use every time I opened the program.

+1 to this one! Definitely a small thing, but oh so annoying...

+1 for sure. Please make previous state sticky.

+1!!! My World Almanac has a list of deities as Entities... and it's the Forgotten Realms list. I collapse it every time I go into the almanac. Mild annoyance, but making it a remembered state would be oh, so awesome.

FWIW, +1 for me too. This is the sort of feature that seems small, but gnaws on you over time if you use the program a lot (as I'm guessing most of us will). For anyone using Realm Works to hold a lot of data, this would be a great help!

Another +1. This is indeed something that is irritating over time.

A possible solution would be to add it to the menu where the "Collapse all categories" and "Expand Categories" are. You could add another menu that was "Retain previous category expand/collapse status" which would save your previous state.

Could be. At some point, after all of us dish out feedback and they start polishing things, an Options screen will probably be a necessity. Just a matter of 'when'.

Additionally, when I have everything collapsed except for where I'm working (Adventure areas) and I pick a containing topic (also Adventure areas), the entire tree expands again. Argh!

This is absolutely at the top of my wish list.
