Hi Ableton!
I do often feel this as a bug, i do understand it isn't bug... plausible just this feature is not implemented (yet?)
and is limitation of GUI behaviour and more belongs to wish-list
description:
when selecting multiple or all tracks in arrangement view by Alt+(clicking track fold arrow) in one track we get fold/unfold all tracks. - great! Biggest point in my case = this folds all grouped-tracks
but this feature isn't working in session view.
-----
I had felt disappointment about 10 times when i had by arranger view habit (intuitively) expected Live-GUI to do fold all foldable tracks in session view and... instead have to fold them all one by one. Actually I haven't found any implemented way (in session view) to unfold/fold all or multiple(multi-selection) grouped-tracks at once.
probably I'm the only but i think it would be great to use fold all foldable tracks in session view too not just in arranger view.
What about that?
fold all group tracks!

To reproduce this incorrect/incomplete behaviour:
1.create session with 4 tracks
2.group 1th and 2nd (by selecting them and Ctrl+G)
3.repeat for other pair or tracks [so we got 6 player-tracks in total]
4.in arrangement view click unfold track triangle-button of first-track which happens to be group1 while holding down Alt [it folds all - now visible are just 2 group tracks]
and it works for unfolding too
5.go too session view and by holding Alt-key click track unfold triangle-button in tracks title bar
[this doesn't work as it was in arrangement view]

Re: fold all group tracks!
I'm not sure if it's an incosistency on purpose or not but I know what you mean.
I see it similarly to not being able to change multiple drum rack paramaters at once. I don't mean "apply to all siblings" but if you select all drums in the drumrack i/o mode and try to change them all to a choke group, you can't do it, yet you think you'd be able to since al changes being made in a selection is pretty much a universal feature.
It's just another one of those small workflow nuances they need to fix.
In the meantime, you can use clyphx to open/close multiple with multiple tracks I am fairly certain.
I have a set where I mapped a foot pedal to open/close a group track in case I want to tap away at the clips inside it on the padkontrol.

Thank you (shadx312) for pointing towards clyphx
I didn't know about that tool-script.
...Seems it can become useful one for me too. TX
