Expand bookmarks by 1 level

Post by evdbogaard »

In the bookmarks tree there is only the possibility to expand or collapse all levels of all bookmarks in one click:

So I get either this:

afbeelding(1).png

or this:

afbeelding(2).png

If I only want to expand a specific bookmark to a specific level I can do that manually by clicking the + sign in front of the bookmark.
So far so good.

But what I really miss, is the possibility to expand all bookmarks just 1 level, so that with one click i can go from this:

afbeelding(1).png

to this (which in this case is the same as clicking the + sign):

afbeelding(3).png

and then with just 1 click more to this:

afbeelding(4).png

At this moment I have to expand each level manually.
It would be so nice to have an option 'Expand One Level' next to the option 'Expand All Bookmarks'.

Regards,
Ed

Hello evdbogaard,

I support your request! A similar request was made before under the following topic, but unfortunately, the developers didn’t seem to consider it at the time. Just thought I’d share this for reference.

Hello rakunavi,

Thanks for your assistance. I am afraid that as per the other topic you linked - we are not currently looking at implementing such a feature.

Kind regards,
Stefan
