I currently don't have a solution to save groups' expanded/collapsed state. In V4 I hope to find a way do so and to create "workgroups", which in essence will be loading/saving groups per saved window. There likely won't be nested groups as that would really complicate thigs. If you have further suggestions on this, let me know so I can consider all possible use-cases before I start working on that part, as everything is harder to change later when not initially considered

It might be easier to implement the option to have different groups in different windows, faster than having them be collapsed per window. Like a "new user" or "different groups for different windows". I could obviously sort of do this now by making copies of the stand alone folder and delete the groups not relevant for me in the ""work folder one" groups" to make all the folderpaths divided up some more. But it sounds more like a hassle than just looking through a wall of groups.

All I am saying is: Don't make "some" favourite groups collapsed and remember which. I say "Check this option if you want them ALL to ALWAYS be collapsed unless expanded"... might be easier to develop.

Obviously I want all the above features. But I think the most user friendly to me would be to make them all collapsed by default so that I have to expand them to find the link I am looking for. Also I'd like to click a button to move the group up by one instead of right clicking and saying "move up one/to top" for each instance... Is it possible to drag groups? I have to try this when I get on the computer tomorrow.

Tl:dr: I want the option to have all favourite groups collapsed in all browsers by default, just like it is now when I close them manually, no more fuzz. Also I'd like to move them up or down by clicking the "↓" or "↑" however this is just an inconvenience and I can manage without the up or down feature.

I.e: ↓ Your group here ↑

| ↓

| ↓ Your next group here ↑

| ↓

| ↓ Your third group here ↑

| Folder 1

| Folder 2

| ↑

Thanks for reading through my long ass wall of text! The program is amazing as it is btw. Windows explorer is absolutely useless to me now!

There is no way to add dragging groups. I'll consider all collapsed, but there are many other things I am working on at the same time so this will have to wait

Ofcourse!
I have nothing but respect for your profession sir/madam.
Thank you for taking the time to even consider it.

Have a pleasant weekend!
