It does what it promises, but is veeery slow doing it. Collapsing a minor project with just some hundred items lasts more than 20 seconds - I'm faster doing this manually - at least when only collapsing the first level, which is good enough in most use cases.

Great!

And even better is that this extension is no longer needed in Visual Studio 2012 as that version has this feature out of the box.

Superb tool... solved my big issue :-)

As others have said, should be a built-in feature. Also, would be nice if it toggled (collapse / expand).

Simple, clean, effective. This should absolutely be built-in!

by Dragan Radovac | May 11 2012

This is cool. Although, it would be nice if it expanded all the nodes as well.

Perfect. Should be built-in.

Lightweight, works as described - awesome. Sometimes it's the little things in life that make my day go smoothly. Like a Collapse button in my solution explorer.

Works well and is faster then then PowerCommands implementation! I also like that it's stand alone.

Thank you, very useful.

by Daniel Cheida | November 06 2011

Agreed.. should be built-in

by sipla | October 05 2011

This should've been a built-in feature in every Visual Studio since forever. Works just as expected.

by Chris Lively | August 11 2011

Perfect. Thanks.

Why Visual Studio even needs an addon to do such a basic actions is beyond me. That said, this works perfectly!

    Any chance of getting source code?

      The extension looks really cool, and I would like to create some tool window enhancements of my own.  Is the source code for this extension available?

      @jmarsch,

The source code for this particular extension is not available. But, a number of sample extensions are available at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vsx. Look at "Shell Samples" and "Project and MSBuild Samples" samples if you want to do tool window enchancements.

Thanks for your feedback on this extension.
