I'm a cartoonist, and I do rather complex vector drawings. It's no unusual for my work to have hundreds of layers, and those layers have dozens of sub-layers. When I opens said files, several layers expand to reveal all the sublayers. I then have to colapse them, one at a time. Is there a quick way to close all sub layers at once?
it has been long discussed in this forum, unfortunately no ![]()
the workarounds, either avoid sublayers or move everything under one Mothership Layer then Alt+Click to collapse/expand all sublayers

they're either unable to fix it or simply don't want to fix it
Every other Adobe product providing hierarchic foldering for Layers and/or Groups does work as expected by maintaining the last saved layers view upon relaunch. Considering the amount of time (years) this bug has been in place in Illustrator, I have to agree that it's either one or the other. Or worse: they just don't care.
