This is an issue that has been moaned about and discussed in the Poser community for countless years already, but has been stubbornly ignored by the "powers-that-be":

• Whenever we open a saved Poser scene, it loads with every bloody item in the Hierarchy Window
  • EXPANDED *

So if you want to work with the Hierachy Window it needs endless scrolling in the metres-long list:

--> Because each figure and the props and clothing parented to it

--> PLUS all props (e.g. a room with a hundred furniture items!)

ALL LOAD -->EXPANDED<-- , DOWN TO THE LAST RIVET PROP!!!

Please DEVs:

Note that there are some people who have more that just a single "ANDY" in the scene, but also a lot of additional props, clothing, and what more!! !

PLEASE!

Make the scene files (pz3) and character(cr2) files REMEMBER the last status of collapsed/uncollapsed items!!!

You have this already in the "groups" for the dials ("collapsed 1")

What's SOOO difficult in just saving the "collapsed" status for each actor in the hierarchy too?

All you need to do is to add another line to any Poser file:

"collapseHierarchy 1",

and change the Poser code to automatically process this, instead of the individual clicks in the hierarchy window.
