Description Timo Kinnunen

Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

Nodes with children in Synchronize view should have Expand All action in their right-click menu. 

A workaround requires double-clicking the node text. This does not mirror the behavior of the Project Explorer view where double-clicking a node expands only one level. Also, the expansion is instantaneous in the Project Explorer view, but slower and "stepped" using the workaround, making it feel like a hack.

The workaround is easy only if you discover it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make changes to a file inside several subfolders.
2. Select Team->Synchronize
3. Right-click a node / double-click a node.

This isn't a workaround, this is a know feature. Same feature you can find in "default" Synchronization View implementation in CVS plugin.

Of course an "Expand All" context menu option also should be implemented, but is has a very low priority currently.

It wasn't known to me :)
I used svn before, there is "expand all".

Now, when I know about it, I agree about low priority.

Best regards

I discovered that feature by reading this Bugzilla. My expectation was that double-clicking the node name would have done the same as single-clicking the little arrowhead next to it, i.e. Expand [one level], therefore I never tried it on my own.

When adding the action please also consider adding a tool bar button (as this is done in the subversion integration).

What about Git Tree Compare View.
I found this feature and I think it is very usefull.

Is there any chance to add this same functionality there?
