Disable auto folding for sub folders
Hello, prompt me please how i can disable auto folding for sub folders in the tree
For example: I have folder with name A. this folder contain 2 folders A1 and A2. And A1 contain few files, for example A1file1 and A1file2. All path is opened
And if i fold base folder (A) and unfold again - content for all subfolders will be folded
How i can disable this behavior? I whant after fold/unfold all subfolders stay without any changes
Thanks!

Hi there,
I assume you are talking about Project View panel? If so -- folding state of children entries is not remembered (IDE seems to read this data fresh on each unfold).
I may only suggest to use "*" (star on numeric keypad) few times to expand all child entries in one go.
ty for answer, but star - not good solution for folders with may subfulders
All time i keep undolded my folders and after this my files tree very height. And if i folde anu folder - each time need open path with 5-6 subfolders
as example - if i fold folder with css and js files in next time i may 6 times open subfolders for get access for my current project block
Yeah .. not with such busy and deeply nested tree...
Is there any particular reason why you need to see that tree always expanded there (except the most obvious: "I've got used to it as it makes easier for me to work with my code")?
There are some other "tricks" that allow to quickly navigate to specific file/folder, which will get your path in tree expanded...
yes, only usability. I whant in any time get access for my project block. If need js, css or any MVC block...
If I fold, for example js folder and i may open any js/css/php/... file i need again open 5-6 subfolders each time, and this is very uncomfortably
And what about other "tricks" for this situation? Hotkeys for open subfolders?
Well -- you can always bookmark the folder (yep -- F11 using Default keymap) .. so navigating to that bookmark (e.g. via "Show Bookmarks" Shift+F11) will open Project View there (expanding that path, obviously).
You can also always use "Navigate | File..." (Ctrl+Shift+N) and type folder name (end with "/") -- when clicking on proposed entry, IDE (once again) will take you to that folder in Project View expanding the path.
ty for answer, but in current time this is crutch but not a solution)
I will waiting this functionality in next IDE verions :)
I, too, would love to see a modifier key, or similar, that changes the default behavior.
Oftentimes I am drilled-down into a deeply-nested directory structure in the Project panel, and would like to be able to twirl-up (close) a directory somewhere in the tree (usually the top-most directory), just for a moment, to look at or do something else in the panel, and then twirl-down (re-open) the directory without finding all of the sub-directories collapsed.
What about holding the Alt key to prevent collapsing sub-directories?
@Ben Feel free to submit the feature request for that at http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA#newissue=yes
It seems that now in PhpStorm 2018 this behaviour exists by default. But I personally don't like it haha. Is there some option that I can configure to turn back to older behaviour?
No.

Find a solution:
Option for keeping subnodes in Project View expanded when the top-level node is collapsed and then expanded again
1. Press "Help | Edit Custom Properties..." (if a dialog appears, press "Create")
2. "idea.properties" file will open. Add `ide.tree.collapse.recursively=false` to a new line
3. Restart IDE
