Every time i move away from an Events effect insert section, and return, all the FX that i collapsed for workflow and space are auto expanded. I have to admit, this is quite annoying and kills the workflow quite a bit for me. Im big on keeping things tidy and organized especially when sessions get big. Is there a setting or anything Im maybe missing here? Im newish to FMOD, but have been working in Pro Tools and a few other major DAWs for almost 20 years and can’t think of any that do this.

Any info is appreciated!

Hi,

We do have some `Interface` options under `Edit -> Preferences`

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/7/7eb75e0163306fbcb0df4af29277026fc0c9b2c2.png)

Would these options be what you are looking for? If not, I will pass on your suggestion to our development team to investigate further.

Those settings don’t address the issue. Modulators respect the collapsed state, effects do not… See video…
