New Relationships folder added to browser tree?

I just opened Fusion after the latest update, so i have not played with all the new updates, so i might be looking/using this wrong....

 

They added a new "Relationship" folder to contain your joints and constraints to help with organizing. I assumed it would be a single folder at the top level that would hold everything....but i noticed all it does is create a new "relationship" folder in every component still, even if i have the top level component activated while creating a joint? So it seems the only difference is a new folder has been added to each component that just adds an additional click to access your joints?

A Relationship folder is added to every assembly that has Joints, Constraints or Tangent Relationships.  It is not added to every component on the top level assembly and any sub-assembly in the Browser tree.

@jhackney1972 I am not sure you got the point. If there are no relationships, then there is no folder, obviously, but equally obviously, there isn't a need to open such a folder.

However, if there are relationships at different levels, now you'll have to click twice instead of just once to access them.

 

Fusion is already very "clicky". I would have liked for it to get better, not worse 😉

I read somewhere they did this so they can separate Constraints (before they existed) from Joints, which would appear at the red line as a Folder container, if there were some. 

KISS went out the window some time back.
