Expand All to limit to children or parents only
I would like the Expand All icon to toggle through 3 states: display only children (which I use most); display only parents; and display both children and parents (which is the current behavior).
Either of the first two options would result in a much less cluttered plex in Normal > Expand all view, which would be a much more pleasant space in which to work since there would be no risk of confusing the grandchildren of the active thought with the parents of the thought below in the same column.
Despite the adjustments we currently have to this view, the confusion remains.
There should also be an option in Preferences to include/exclude jump thoughts from the Expand All view.
This would also provide an extra generation to Normal view - a grandchild layer or a grandparent layer, without mixing the two up.

Maybe a better title for this would have been "Expand All to ADD ability to limit display to children or parents only" but you get what I mean. :)
