The Bookmark Manager should contain a Collapse All button

Status: Already Implemented

The Bookmark Manager already has Open All Items and Close All Items right-click options.

It would be useful to have a Collapse All button in the Bookmark Manager.

It is tedious to click the "-" button for each bookmark group. Large projects can contain dozens of such bookmark groups. It currently takes too long (too much scrolling) to locate a given bookmark group.

Idea expansion: If a Collapse All button is added, it would perhaps make sense to add an Expand All button.

Thanks, Darren. I was unaware of those options, and will use them from now on. Perhaps they can be made more discoverable somehow?

When I was first taught LabVIEW in January 1999, my LabVIEW Basics 1 instructor told me, "When in doubt, right-click.". I feel like we need to promote this advice more broadly, as, even after all these years, the LabVIEW IDE still tends to expose this type of functionality through right-click menus more than through explicit buttons on the UI.
