Hi all;

I've found the code explorer a very useful window whilst navigating the code, along with the code observer. Whenever a new unit is displayed in the editor, the explorer automatically displays information on that editor.

However, what I do find frustrating is - when a new unit is displayed, the code explorer displays the new information with all it's nodes collapsed. So every time I switch a unit, I have to drill down into the code explorer and code observer.

Is there a way of configuring the code explorer to refresh with all nodes expanded?

If not, could a simple checkbox be added to the code explorer option section, providing this functionality?

Many thanks
Marc

Delete the filter.

There is no option to show all nodes, because most units contain hundreds or thousands of nodes and the developers are too unimaginative to see the point.
Maybe you have a great idea how to collapse smart the important parts fitting into the code explorer.
