Hi Matthew and Others,
OK, I found the reference to the tip on opening and closing all
podcast
folders at once in the archives at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg14137.html
under the title of "A tip on opening and closing podcast folders"

Thought this tip from macosxhints.com might be useful.
You can open and close all folders under your podcast
lists at once with "Command-]" (that's Command+right bracket
-- the key next to the backslash key) to open, and with
"command-[" (that's Command+left bracket) to close.
You must be in the Songs Outline window for podcasts
to issue the command.

The source article at macosxhints was actually about using
Command-Option+Right Bracket to resyc all podcast feeds
at once. And it also has the side effect of opening the
podcast folders. At the time, that command only worked when
you had selected a podcast folder that was closed.
Anyone who is interested can either read more about this
at the Mac OS X hints link or experiment.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi Matthew and Josh,
I've retitled the thread. In addition to Josh's suggestion to make
sure
you are interacting with the Songs Outline before trying VO-keys+
backslash to toggle folders open and closed, you can try using
command+right bracket to open all podcast folders. I couldn't
remember fast enough where I found this, so I experimented. I think
that I read about command+option+right bracket to open and
command+option+left bracket to close, but then opening had t he
side-effect of updating all podcast feeds at once, and I didn't want
that! (Since I don't subscribe to every podcast series I download,
that puts in entries for every episode currently available on every
feed that I have podcasts for! Even if they're not in my library
that's
a pain to navigate).
OK, I think you can try just command+right bracket to open all
podcast
folders at once, and command+left bracket to close all podcast
folders
at once. This is purely from experimentation. Let me know how that
works out. And don't try the thing with the option key as well
unless
you want all your feeds to (possibly) update when you open the
folders!
HTH
Esther
it doesn't give you the same feedback it did in tiger. i had to
arrow c
around a lot to see the folder was expanded out. guess i'll have to
use that method since i guess you can't just use the command if you
just down arrow into the songs outline.
