I don't think this is accurate. To the best of my recollection, I
don't think we ever provided a way to collapse all folders. You
*could* have collapsed and re-expanded the parent folder, because we
incorrectly failed to remember the expansion state... which has been
fixed.

Can I ask why you want to do this?

We've never been able to rescan just part of the tree, so I'm not sure
how this has changed at all. Could you maybe explain what you want to
do?
