Turn off auto collapse of file browser in SAS Studio

[hequlliot]

When you browse to where you want to go, it’s expanded. When you add a new file via an ODS or other statement or you save a program, after you’ve done so it reverts back to being collapsed. This can become encumbering particularly during development so if there is/was an option to keep this expanded, that would be great.

You could add a shortcut of the directory you want under folder shortcuts, this way you could directly open the folder to access your files. I don't think there is a way to keep the server definition expanded.
