there is a bug in Cubase 15.0.20 in the mixer view, left panel visability settings i work alot with folders in my projects in the past, it was able to turn off/on visablity of folders in the mixer view even if the folders were collapsed in the list. with the latest update of cubase, this is not w…

Hi, I read similar report… Could you try at Mixer 2, 3 and 4, please? Is it also the case? Does it apply for all folders, or just the new type?

thank you again for the quick reply, yes, its also on mixer 2 3 and 4 also i noticed, if there are subfolder within the folders, the checkboxes also wont get applied until the subfoldes are expanded too it does apply to all folders, the new one groupfolder and also regular “classic” folders

I think this new behaviour was chosen because with the new group-folder we have the option of a folder being displayed in the mixer. So we have three states for a new group-folder and it´s content: open–> folder and content visible in mixer closed–> only folder is visible in mixer hidden-> nothing…

Yes. But the behaviour by default is illogical now. See my similar post here: [image] Folder Group Channel behaviour in the Mix Console C15.0.20 Cubase Hello forum users! Like a lot of others, I’m excited about the new group-folders-as-group-channels feature…

No… When you disable sync, folder expand/collapse remains in sync. Is that what you expected?

Found a workaround that solved my issue, not sure if it solves yours. Create a “rack instrument” VSTI - this will create an “rack instrument folder track” which has the old foldertrack behavior. So I was able to put my instruments/stuff in that “oldstyle” folder, collapse it within the project wind…

thanks for all your replies, the “Sync Project and Mixconsole” has nothing to do with it i rolled now back to cubase 15.0.10 here is how i work: all folders in the project are collapsed, this is what my mixer screens are looking like, its in sync with my project, if i expand a folder in the proje…

Yeah this definitely needs some TLC. This is not the only issue the new folder group has caused. It makes no sense to not have regular folders show as normal in the mixer or sequencer window. Also, MIDI tracks are not showing their proper icon in the mixconsole windows.
