When I need to expand or collapse I use the ">" in the category, i do not need the "-" button for that, this is redundant, and steal screen.

Many folk have really Long Tag/Author/series lists (even with the Partition option ON ) and may leave 1 or more expanded. In the 3+ years of using Calibre and haunting this forum, yours is the first gripe I have seen about that button. |

I'm a bit confused by this discussion.
The Tag Browser panel, where the Collapse All button is located, can be re-sized by the user with the position of all elements redrawn accordingly. The only time that this button might "stick out" is if your listing has extremely short terms. If I want to see a wider Book List, I have to either temporarily or permanently:
You have the same options, so what is the problem with switching things around as needed? |

The '-' button along with the 'Find' button and 'Find item in tag...' textbox collectively define the minimum width of the so-called Tag Browser. I've sometimes tried to make it narrower by dragging the right edge to the left and grrrowled when I can't.
But I also sometimes click the '-' to collapse all category trees - so its a catch-22 It could move to the bottom alongside the Alter Tag Browser button. Even better would be to move that button to the top above the 'Find' button and 'Find item in tag...' textbox and put the '-' button alongside the 'Alter Tag Browser' button. The available rows for displaying category names would remain unchanged, but all the Tag Browser widgets would be grouped together, which IMO would be no bad thing. But moving things around is likely to disturb the equanimity of too many users, so this suggestion should not be viewed as a change request. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 06-30-2013 at 08:14 PM.

Try toggling all three buttons in the lower right corner to see what they hide and reveal. |

I thought thieve was a verb.

But now that you've got me thinking about it... Why not just merge the Alter Tag Browser and Collapse All buttons? Effectively it becomes the More Options (v) button seen on other iconic toolbars. Click it and a merged list of both button's functions is displayed. Of course, it saves height and not width, but... |
