Is it possible to create a script to clean up the layers in my file before I preform a save out?
By clean up I mean just make them look clean by collapsing all layers and sublayers.
Before Cleanup
After Cleanup
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
I don't know how complex your layer structures are, but you can collapse (or expand) all sub containers by Alt key clicking on the little arrowheads on the left-hand side of the top level container items (main layers).

Hi,
As far as I know I don't think this is possible via script. Please see below link
This is quite old link, in case if is there any update on this, you will may get information here.
You can post a feature request where we have some option collapse/or expand in Layers flyout menu on the following link.

Thanks for the help! I did see that post from 2013 when I was searching for an answer, but I was really banking that there was a fix for it since then. Bummer 😞
I posted a feature request here if anyone would like to vote it up.
