For completeness, I wanted to add the following code~~, however it no longer appears to work?~~

// Expand all layer sets  
// https://forums.adobe.com/message/5764024#5764024  
function openAllLayerSets(parent) {
    for (var setIndex = 0; setIndex < parent.layerSets.length; setIndex++) {
        app.activeDocument.activeLayer = parent.layerSets[setIndex].layers[0];
        openAllLayerSets(parent.layerSets[setIndex]);
    }
}
openAllLayerSets(app.activeDocument);

It's supposed to recursively expand set by setting it as active layer?

I just recently started looking into PS scripting, so i don't know api at all.

Have you tried cmd-clicking the »open triengle«-icon that indicates this?
