Description

### What's the Problem?

1. When grouping by any criteria it can get messy with lots of files and clicking in the group name takes to the summary view and that doesnt really add any practical use.
2. Applying the same kind of view, order and group to each folder can become very repetitive

### Solution/Idea

1. It would be helpful to have the option to collapse and expand the groups (like the system explorer does) see attached capture

3. Being able to set the actual view preferences as default for all folders: (kind, order, group and collapsed). Would be really good

### Alternatives

Default system explorer
