Hiding a file collapses the entire tree

[Tiranasta]

Is there any way to prevent this? It makes all the file hiding required by the STEP setup a LOT more time-consuming than it otherwise would be.

 

EDIT: Also, I'm aware I could get around this by just deleting the files to be hidden, but I'd prefer hiding them all else being equal.

I think you can select multiple file and then hide that group...

Am I wrong?

[Tiranasta]

Nah, tried that, didn't let me (didn't let me select multiple files, that is).

Is the hiding of files really necessary?

Is the hiding of files really necessary?

To get the proper conflict resolution, it is sometimes necessary.

[hishutup]

Yes, sometimes...

sr:le does it a lot for some small things.

its kinda of annoying but whatever

[GrantSP]

Well there you go! I've learnt something new. Not sure why that works, but if you say so.

[hishutup]

I left out that it was common to hide certain overwriting textures because they may look terrible with another mod or another texture is arguably better and the mod would generally overwrite it.

kinda of an update....

here are some pics

 

 

So, I may have misunderstood the issue

[Tiranasta]

No, you didn't misunderstand the issue, you just used a feature I had not realized existed (I'd been hiding files from the Data tab of the main window's right pane - I hadn't realized you could do it in a mod's properties). But now I do. Thanks. :)
