Closing all Bins in BrowserPosted by Steve Douglas
Despite trashing prefs, when I click on either the effects tab or project tab and right click the 'Close all bins', nothing occurs. Brought in the 'CAB's button to the top of the Browser but that doesn't do it either. Never really used this feature before but now see how it would really help speed certain things up for me. Anyone know why it won't work?

Thanks for replying Tom. I want to be sure I understand you. In the browser/effects window, I may have several filter types opened to choose from at one time. They are not in separate windows, just open with the browser. Same for the browser project files. I may have different bins scrolled open in list view, but that doesn't mean they are in separate windows. While I did not know that it was an option/click...when I click on the browser tab and go to 'close all bins' shouldn't that close any bins that are open? I never stop learning it seems

If you have opened bins tabbed into the same window, which many people do to keep the bins open and be able to quickly move from one bin to another with Cmd-Shift-[ and ], then close all bins close them up from the window without having to switch to each individual tab and closing it separately.
Wow, was I off base. I thought that if contents of a bin were displayed the 'close all bins' would twirl all the triangles back up and closed. No wonder it didn't work. Disappointed but thanks for clearing that up Tom.
So for the next FC version, it would be cool to have a keyboard shortcut or button that will close all bins and their contents, highlighted or not. Steve steve-sharksdelight
You mean opening and closing bin folders in the Browser? In List view? Just let me consult my KeyGuide here....
You want to twirl the triangles closed? Navigate to one with arrow keys, then press the left arrow key to close. If you select all bin folders (Command A) in Browser, you should be able to open/close all twirlies simultaneously this way-- right arrow to open, left to close. Try it.
