show items from subfolders set as default

[therealgingernob]

I am new to bridge as i have lightroom and it is, and remains my primary app for photo management, however i was looking into what bridge could 'add' to the equation. 

Whilst in some areas the interface adds a great deal, the most annoying 'feature' is that it doesn't show items from subfolders by default and each time you move around the folder tree, it once again 'un-ticks' the 'show items from subfolders' option. my question is WHY?

I have read a couple of posts that in general point to: 'speed of browsing and catalog management'. 

Well my question would be: If lightroom can cope with it, why can't bridge?

whilst trying to avoid sarcasm, i'd need to remind adobe it is 2019, soon 2020. NOT 1982. Our processors are a little faster than an original 80286 processor and our hard drives are somewhat faster, especially using SSD drives. how can they build the functionality and performance into the lightroom classic catalog but can't do the same in a sister product? what significant difference am i missing from this equation?

I'm not going to change it to autostart but the code is Apache-licensed so you are free to alter it if you wish.

Remember that we are volunteers who are helping fellow creatives, and are limited in what programmatic changes we can make. Adobe needs to address feature requests like this.

I have no idea about programming and had not heard of Apache-Licenced till tonight so no chance of me making changes.  I will use as is, setting it once on startup is better than everytime I change directories.

Thank you for the code.
