Quote - Quick question for those of you who say you would like a collapsed heirarchy window: Could you give a little more detail on what type of behaviour you want?

It should start out and stay collapsed, meaning all children are hidden until their parent item's expand arrow is clicked.  Closing the window and reopening it should remember its previous state, or always start as collapsed.

Most people would probably want the window to show all figures, props and lights (each collapsed) within the universe. Ideally, we could set the default window depth in preferences.  Ideally, we could set the default window depth in preferences.  A depth of one would just show "Universe" in the box.  A depth of two would list the Universe, props figures and lights that don't have a parent (aside from the universe).  That's the behavious I think most people would want. 

Part of the problem with it is that expand/collapse arrows do not behave the same way as the visibility toggle.  If we click the visibility toggle for the universe we can make all items (in)visible with a single click.  But for some reason clicking the expand arrow for the "universe" does not expand all figures and props in the universe, which seems inconsistent with expanding individual items within the universe.

And it should also stop popping in front of my undocked viewport when I do things like change rooms.
