Hi Denis - sorry no there is not currently any way to make the Scene browser start up already expanded.
In v3 I do want to work on that though, so that the current scene browser collapse/expand state will be saved in a file and restored when you open that file. When that works then you would be able to set up a template file with it expanded to set the default as well.
Hi Denis ...
As a MOI user I would like to point out that a registered user gets to use the next betas throughout their development period - which could take a year.
As a Ver 1 user I was using Ver 2 throughout its wonderful development period ... unlike most betas MOI never had a serious glitch ... it just got better and better.
So I suggest you buy MOI ver 2 now and in a week or so you will be able to use ver 3 without having to wait for the final version.
cheers
eric
