One of the really nice features of Arbortext Editor is the way you can control the expansion in their tree viewer: expand/collapse all or expand one level (they also implement a triple click that does the expand one level). For example, given a fully-expanded map, selecting the map element and doing "expand one level" would collapse all the children of the map so you only see the direct child topicrefs/topicheads. This is especially handy for very long maps. For example, I'm doing a lot of DTD documentation where I have the reference entries grouped by letter and there might be 150 or 200 separate entries under 20 or more groups. It can take a while for the map to populate all the navigation titles when I first open it, but if it was initially collapsed, it would populate the letter groups pretty fast. It would be really nice if this could be set as the default expansion for opening maps. I'm not sure if it would be practical to remember the expansion state of the map on save, probably not, but that would be handy too.
