Re: [tracecompass-dev] Collapse/Expand all in Time Graph views

[Matthew Khouzam <matthew.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is IMO the way to go, what we should do is before neon have a major
usability rundown. Make sure all widgets behave the same way and maybe
even come up with a design guideline, but that is not a problem for
today. The advantage of having all the stuff.

So if it is in a context sensitive menu though, wouldn't it be
interesting to be able to expand or collapse all children?

We can also have one button (collapse all) that changes to expand all
when pressed and vice versa.

Counterthoughts?
