In Kdenlive, on the Effects tab I often switch between Favorite Items and Custom Effects. Everytime I do this, the display tree of these is collapsed and I need to expand them again.
Is there anyway to disable this auto-collapsing functionality or should I create feature request?
I’m not sure there is separate state kept for each of those filter options. I don’t think they are separate things (like tabs), rather they are just filters which prune the tree.
To see what I mean, if you open a category that is contained in both the set you are switching from and the set you are switching to - then it will remain open as you switch back and forth. It’s only if you switch to a set with new categories that weren’t in your previous view that all those new categories default to being closed.
So I don’t think it’s an “option” - it’s just an emergent property of the implementation (and simply having all new categories default to open surely wouldn’t be a more user friendly thing to do).
You could file a feature request - but I suspect this won’t be a simple tweak, it will require storing state that’s currently a transient property. The best practical workaround I can suggest in the meantime would be to favorite your custom effect - that way you don’t need to switch filtering options to see them.
This solves my problem, much appreciated.
