All bins collapsed when re-opening a project

[Mattie P.]

• Issue - I edit in list view, with many layers of bins to organize my project. Bins twirl down and back up all the time depending on what I am doing. I leave my bins open in the state I left them when I close a project so I can pick right back up next time. Lately, however, when I re-open a project, all the bins have been collapsed so I have to re-twirl everything back down. This ALSO happens when I switch between Workspaces.
  
• Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 24.6.3 (Build 4) 
• Operating system - Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045
  
• System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:

  • CPU: Ryzen 5950x

  • GPU: GeForce RTX 3080

  • GPU driver (PC): Studio Driver 565.90

  • RAM: 64 GB

  • Hard Drive: Media on internal 16TB RAID 1 / Project on internal 1TB NVME / Proxies on internal 4TB SSD

• Video format: N/A this occurs across all project currently. Currently working with XAVC-I 4:2:2 10-bit footage in MXF wrapper.
  
• Workflow details: N/A this occurs across all projects
  
• Steps to reproduce -
  
  • Start new project: create bins, import footage, create bins, create sequences
  • Stop working to have a break with bins still twirled down
  • Save project
  • Close Project
  • Re-Open Project
  • Bins have all collapsed closed
  • OR - after Step 1, change to a different Workspace, bins have all collapsed closed
• Expected result - Used to be Premiere would re-open with my bins all in the same state as they were when I saved and closed, i.e. twirled down in my last work state
  
• Actual result -  All the bins have collapsed closed

Have you tried resetting preferences?

Launch Premiere Pro and then immediately hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) until the reset preferences dialog appears.

Thanks Rob. I have just tried it and it made no difference. Project still opens with bins collapsed after saving with them opened up. I then opened a few bins and changed my Workspace and all the bins collapsed.

Hello, just an update here. I have updated to Premiere Pro 25.1.0 (Build 73) and the exact same problem persists. Any movement or revelations on the Adobe side?

Been having this same issue for a couple years. I keep checking around for a solution but so far haven't found it. Super annoying.

@Rach McIntireany input from the Adobe team? I'm working on a long form doc and it's absurd the way I have to start my session every time I open this project, twirling everything back down to find what I was working on. Slows me down.

Hi @Mattie P.,
I'm still investigating this issue, but I can reproduce it. Although not a perfect workaround, holding down the opt/ alt key when twirling down a bin will open all the enclosed folders. Hopefully, that will save some mouse clicks. I'm sorry this issue continues to frustrate you.
