Changing visibility of multiple collections at once

Two reasons why I didn’t implement detection for sub-collections:

  • If the parent collection is hidden, View Layer, 3D Viewport or Render wise, its sub collections are automatically hidden. So there’s no need to hide them.
  • To get sub-collections, you need to implement a rather complex loop cycle to continuously check for sub-collections and their sub-collections (etc) until no more are detected.
    • I made examples of the scale complexity here & here.

What you want can be done. But not only is it overly complex (to my knowledge), it’s also not good for performance (the continuous loop).
