Can I give you a hug sir? I don't know if you saw my "request" for this on the SM Poser Forum, and probably somewhere on this forum as well, because this is the one thing I've requested for the Hierarchy Editor/Chart numerous times. I spent many years between Poser 5 and Poser 9 using DAZ|Studio, and got so used to having this option. There's a simple little clickable item near the top of the Scene palette to do this, and I absolutely HATE having to do this every time I start a new scene. I do a lot of beta testing, and it's an absurd waste of my time to collapse every character, item(s) of clothing, and/or props in order to work in one area of the Hierarchy at a time! I don't care if it's "remembered" each time a saved scene is reopened, though that certainly would be nice too, but having a button to collapse it in one swift click, would be awesome.

Let's hope they hear us this time, and do something about it!!

YOU are welcome to give me a hug ANYTIME, Miss B :)

But as far as I remember it from the old SM forum, it wasn's just you and me who complained about this nuissance. This has been discussed endlessly, by (let me guess? hundreds of Poserists).

In the end, the threads with the complaints / suggestions were quickly washed down the drain, and other topics like "Make Genesis work in Poser or I'll quit 1!11" became more important. I think those others who aren't concerned by this absolute nuisance either never use the Hierarchy Editor, or just gave up complaining because of the "Don Quichotte" effect.

I suspect it's the latter.

Oh, and hugs back to you! :)
