You're in the right place for feedback...

No need to be sarcastic. There is not some feedback since the script is really simple and short (in contrast to my other scripts), so there is no bugs and nothing cannot go wrong. I wrote it for a few minutes after request here, and I supposed it could be useful for some another user. According to my web counter, there was 138 downloads, so it is not totally useless.

...
Limitation:
It expands only nodes on the first sub-level. If you want to expand all nodes recursively, no matter how depth they are, please let me know.

Yes ... I recently posted to the wish list a common Windows feature to support expanding all "child nodes" with the numeric keypad "*" key,[1] and contracting same with the numeric keypad "-" key.

If you can accomplish this with your add-in, that would take the pressure off the MM dev team. (I still think it should implemented as a core feature in a future MM version, as this has been a common feature of Windows' Explorer and File Manager since at least 3.0.)

[1] Please note that in Windows this only works with the NUMPAD * key.

I installed it over the previous version ... then got errors on clicking tree nodes. I presume that the proper update method is to remove the previous plug-in, then install this update (or click update from Tools | Extensions dialog). Live and learn....

A thing of beauty, thank you. Works great on My Computer node. I then set it loose on the Library \ Artist node, and it churned away speedily, providing an update progress bar, and left the selection point at the node it was initiated from. Working as I hoped it would.
