Query editor: Collapse All should, well, collapse all

[Michiel]

The query editor always opens with all query groups expanded. For larger numbers of queries, it would be convenient to be able to collapse all query groups at once. According to this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/8274687-it-would-be-useful-if-the... , this has been implemented long ago, and indeed, there's a 'Collapse all' option in the right-click menu. However, this option only collapses (or expands) the current group, not all groups.

I think the vast majority of users would surely like to start off with all folders collapsed. Surely it cannot be so difficult to add an option in Power Query to do this? I use the workaround that DQuigg describes above, but it just seems silly for a feature like Power Query, which is all about data, to make it extra difficult to have a good overview of your queries...

@DQuigg Advocate III - you saved me from so much frustration! What a tip: "I found an inelegant (if that is a word) workaround. Since the folders can be nested, I created a folder called All Folders and put all of the other sub-folders underneath that one. Then I can mimic a collapse all by clicking on that folder."
