Hello
the [+] button in the directory tree opens the current directory, but it could be very useful to open all directories, I propose 3 options for this button
Idea:
a first click on the [+] icon to open the directory
a second click on the [++] icon to open all directories
a third click on the [-] icon to close all directories.
Of course the second click is configurable, this is disabled by default.
This allows you to search to determine which directories are in the main content, without having to click on each one.
You could also change the color of the [+] icon if it doesn't contain subdirectories of one color and if it does have subdirectories of another color.
[++] icon for open all directories

The right-click menu already contains a menu Expansion with all of these options including shortcuts that you might want to memorize.

when I right click on the [+] button i don't see the expand menu
Re: [++] icon for open all directories
Then click the folder name instead

Re: [++] icon for open all directories
even though the Expansion menu/options are visible on the right-click of the folder, it would be nice to have Expansion at the top of the menu if the (+) is right-clicked.
the (+) is often less populated than the folder menu and i think it would be a natural location for this type of option.

Ctrl+Click on [+] expands all subfolders. Not sure if that was the question.

Ctrl+Right Click on [+]
displays which icon you want to display to perform the expand and collapse functions.
Ctrl+Left Click on [+]
expands all subfolders, works very well.
The more hidden things the XYPlorer operation will have, I would like to see an explicit GUI, where we don't have to memorize the use of shift keys, the future is handling touch screens, where the use of shift keys is hardly used .
