I think there was a way to collapse all folders when doing a directory
compare before?  Can't find it now? Was it removed?  Could it be added?

Yes, and it was removed.  Hopefully it will be re-added soon.
In the meantime, I'm (almost always) using the latest 1.x version.
You can download older versions (which I did.)

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?

Apparently, I was enjoying the effects of that bug<grin>..  In migrating systems we often look at /etc and finding things in the order needed is much faster if the directories are all closed - otherwise it ends up being a very long list to scroll though and a pain to close the folders not needed at that time. (I'm pretty sure others use meld for the same job.) It sure would be cool to have a keystroke that would collapse-all.

Sorry, I just completely lost this email.

So I'm tempted to say we should just add a keybinding signal for expand-all and collapse-all, but not actually add a binding. This would mean you can customise it as desired, but also means that we don't need to worry about e.g., adding menu items, actions, making keybinding decisions, etc. I'm not sure when I'll get around to this though; could you please file a bug?

cheers,
Kai
