This does make a whole lot of sense... the "hide" system is ok but.... the click on a track is ok but still... the folders just make soooo much sense...I've wondered why this isn't a shared aspect of tracks and console for a long time...why not automatic folders based on track folders...
could do a lot of things with the folder, select list tracks, thin with vertical name, oh they are endless but just being able to collapse chunks would be wonderful.
Clutter... console has too much clutter and decluttering is neither intuitive for new users nor consistant via track/console or the most efficient way to declutter... the folders just make sense...
