I would like a (switchable) explorer behavior: when opening a folder, in tree-view, it would recursively open any/all sub-folders if total child nodes is less/equal than some threshold, typically 1. The heuristic is that the user is typically interested in the "leaves" of the tree, if the branches are empty. This would optimize getting down to source code in a deep package layout. eg: - com - mydomain - my project - my package - My file 1 - My File 2 would open automatically to "mypackage", rather than to "com", because it is the first sub-node with multiple children. While not a huge change, explorer navigation is so universal and common that speeding this process would be very helpful for most user's productivity. Theres no reason why the threshold need be 1. Some users may prefer eg. 2 or 5 children as the limit of recursive opening. Better as a settable param with default=1.
