Dragging a book into an expanded Hierarchy level collapse other expanded levels

ChrisMillward · 07-03-2020, 04:44 AM

When sorting books into a Subject hierarchy it is useful to have several different levels expanded. However, if a book is dragged into any one of these expanded levels the others immediately collapse. This means that you have to keep opening up previously opened levels. Maybe this is intentional to prevent the list from 'growing', but personally I would rather collapse them myself when I am done with them. Perhaps if it is normally desirable then an option could be provided to prevent automatic collapse.

I think this is just an artifact of having to repaint the list. Tracking and maintaining the 'expanded' tags would be a royal PITA

Indeed, it is a fair amount of effort.

Thank you.
I presume that change is unlikely.
