Feature Request: Collapse/expand groups in properties

Post by jruiz »

I think it could be useful if groups in properties could be collapsed and expanded.
How hard could be for such a feature be implemented?

I don't think it matters how hard it is... considering the feature already exists ;) double click on the group header to collapse or expand it

I mean .... really? For all these years I didn't knew that? I spent like minutes, with a smile on my face, collapsing and expanding groups :lol:

Is it possible to add the qt arrow representing collapsible widget on the headers using only qss or it needs to be hard coded in the ui code?

Ha...
Thank you very much!
When was implemented this feature?
I normally use Dynamic Data WB. In DD objects, the groups were always expanded (until now :D ) which could not be very comfortable.
Thank you again.

I think that a good complement for this feature could be to add "Collapse/Expand all" just below "Auto expand" when right click on a property group.

No clue when it was implemented, it might be a built in feature of Qt

Kind of off topic but, are there any short-cuts to collapse Bodies in the tree? I can collapse the document, I can collapse the Part container but I can't collapse all of the Bodies at one time.
Thanks
