Default Show tracks inside folders with folder hidden

Anyone else think this would be a useful addition? I often have memory locations that show only the tracks I am creatively working with. I love to have folders for organization but when I am working creatively I'd love to just have only the tracks with creative material on them (MIDI/Audio) and have their containing folders hidden.

Could be a handy feature, as long as the folder contents were still indented in the Edit window, so we don't forget that they're in folders. You can make the folder heights Mini in the Edit window, which helps. But of course, they still take up the same room as all others in the Mix window. It would be nice if plain folder tracks could be set to super narrow width with the mute and solo buttons one above the other in the Mix window, whether they could be hidden or not.

I agree. nice.
Also, I don't think we need that top color folder line in the Mixer that makes the entire thing jump down a few pixels.
Two nested folders, and you cannot click to open and then immediately click in the same place to close - as the icon has now jumped down far enough to be out-of-range. It renders location-targeting shortcut apps such as Keyboard Maestro useless.

Surely that's a simple fix.
