I would love the ability to record the "Collapse groups" shortcut John Nack mentioned here: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2011/06/... in my actions.

In my actions I often create lots and lots of folders that I'll need afterwards (workflow actions), which then stay open all the time so I have to collapse them manually.
Therefore it'd be great to be able to record the collapse command to save time and improve the overview over my layers/groups.

Ctrl + Alt + click the arrow next to a layer set closes all layer sets, but it would be very nice to have a recordable action for closing all layer sets. APPLICATION: The purpose of creating layer sets for me is to be able organize layers into their relevant groups. I'd like to be able to run an set of recorded actions that ends with closing all the layer sets, so that once the actions are complete, my workspace is nice and neat.
