[new feature] Navigator enhancements; split source and target tabs for parallel view, toggle for expand/collapse all... #217

Open theunsfvo opened 7 years ago

Hi guys,

Using Navigator a lot and would find it easier and quicker to work with if we had these enhancements:

  1. Split source and target tabs for parallel view,
  2. Add a toggle for expand/collapse all sub elements.

At least point 2?

The default is expanded, but it switches to collapsed on its own and I have to deselect the element and select it again to get an expanded view again...

For (2) - we can't expand all sub-elements automatically in case there is an infinite cycle (Actor --> Role --> Location --> Actor --> etc). For this, there would need to be some check to stop this (that would be complicated).

I have changed it so at least it doesn't collapse when switching between target and source.

Not collapsing when switching would work perfectly!

Just a toggle button would also be great, if you want to toggle between collapsed and expanding TO ONE LEVEL DOWN ONLY... I don't see a use for expanding more than one level down....

Thanks ​ Phile​ , Theuns
