API expand Sketches and Bodies folders in Browser

[info83PHN]

This should be simple, but can't find the code for it.

I run a script that opens an existing local f3d file, and I want to then expand ( dropdown ) the Sketches and the Bodies folders in the Browser on the left of the UI

I have found : rootComponent.isSketchFolderLightBulbOn

but nothing to open / expand the folders ?

It's not possible. There isn't any API functionality to access the browser tree, which is where that functionality would be exposed.

Thanks Brian

At least now I can stop searching for it.

Any chance that could get added as a 'would be really nice' API feature in the future ?

I don't know what's coming in the future but I don't think I would count on this capability.  it's always a matter of prioritizing work with limited resources to do the work but I agree that it would be useful.
