State Management for FileManager TreeView (Collapsed / Expanded)

Would like to be able to change / recall State of expanded / collapsed items in FileManager, similar to how we can with the Grid component using Groups.

We would also like the ability to set the Splitter collapsed on initial load to hide the tree.

On refreshing data from the database, the entire File Manager reverts to all items collapsed, which will be annoying for end users.

State management could also deal with the default view (Details vs Icons) as requested elsewhere for this component.

Hello Sebastian,

When a feature is scheduled for implementation, its status will change and you will receive a notification (if you are following the item). I am sorry if the lack of FileManager TreeView expand/collapse control is a show stopper for you.

Any further updates on this feature request? The fact that a reload or refresh of the data collection leads to all items collapsed is not usable for the end user.

That's correct Dimo.

Im referring to the Treeview in the left hand pane that shows directories only. When I call a RefreshData() method after users add subfolders, files, etc, the Treeview portion keeps collapsing back to the root, which will be annoying if theyre adding multiple folders at a time.

Hello Andy,

I assume you are talking about item state persistence of the FileManager TreeView, right?

For visibility, I am linking the ListView vs GridView setting.
