When I have an item focused and then Show All Subitems (either from Item menu or context menu) to show subitems that don't meet the source bar filter, only the first-level subitems are then displayed.  The first-level subitems can't be expanded to show the lower level subitems that don't meet the filter.  Instead, I have to focus each first-level subitem and select Show All Items again to show the next level of subitems that don't meet the filter.  Is this the way it's supposed to work?  I was thinking that Show All Subitems would show all the levels of subitems under the focused item; or at least that the focused item could be expanded to show all subitems at all levels regardless of any filters.

As far as I can tell I don't have any filters active that might be hiding these subitems, but then again, I thought Show All Subitems was supposed to show all subitems regardless of any filters.  My Source Box is set to "Notes1", my Filter Box is set to "ItemCreated>now-500", and the button next to the Filter Box is set to "Filter Items", not "Filter Items and Subitems".

Hey. Perhaps that command is broken as it seems to do exactly the same as 'Show Main Subitems', no?

You can achieve what you want, however, by using the 'Show Levels' command, then ticking 'Selected item(s)' and clicking on the 'All' button.

Thanks Left but Show Levels isn't working for me either.  I thought it might be a bug introduced by a recent version but I just tried the same sndb with 120Pre5 and the problem was even worse.  I think the problem might be caused by something in this particular sndb database.

Running 120Pre16 I opened the 5/2022 version of Welcome.sndb.  I opened the IQDoc grid by clicking on its tab.  I set the Source Bar Filter to "[item] like "*user interface*"".  The Source Bar Filter button is set to "Filter Items".  Display Mode is "Outline (normal)".  I put the focus on the item "2. InfoQube User Interface".  I can't expand the item to show its subitems.  Sure, the subitems don't meet the filter because they don't contain the words "user interface".  But I thought subitems would be displayed even though they don't meet the filter.  If I use the Show All Sub-Items command, the first level sub-item are shown, but they can't be expanded - only if I focus one of those subitems (e.g. "4. Document Pane") and once again use the Show All Sub-Items command.
