HI Jensen Head,

I have asked about "Expand All" for other places and been told it is not a good idea when there is the potential to be hundreds, even thousands of items to expand. The case I was asking about was the content pane, which to "Expand All" could be a very very resource intensive and be a real performance hit. I wouldn't expect this to be the case with this dialogue so I've asked the team their thoughts.
Best regards

Well it turns out that not only is there no performance concern, it was so easy to do the change it was done faster than I could make a ticket to request it.

This will be in the next build.

Enjoy.
