Title:
Can't auto-expand all subfolders in Nautilus tree view.
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
Triaged
Status in Nautilus:

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
In Nautilus's tree view, there seems to be no way to expand all
subfolders within the currently selected folder. This means I have to
manually click all the subfolder arrows to expand them, and manually
expand all subfolders of those subfolders...etc. This is extremely
awkward when having to work with reorganizing large numbers of files
and folders.
I know Shift+Left/Right arrow keys works, but you have to mash it to
expand everything, and you're never sure if you expanded all the
subfolders or not.
Suggestions:
A.) Ctrl+Click on tree-view folder arrow expands all subfolders of that
folder.
B.) Folder right-click menu when in tree view displays "Expand all
subfolders".
C.) Add "Ctrl+Shift+Left" and "Ctrl+Shift+Right" Keyboard shortcuts.
P.S. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a paper cut, but the lack of this
feature caused me to switch to Directory Opus (http://www.gpsoft.com.au/) - and
thus back to Windows - for my day job (which involves organizing files), as I
couldn't rival the productivity in any Linux file manager I found.
