GANTT View Feature Requests

[potterm]

I have a few requests on the Gantt view, which looks to be very powerful.

1) Every time you open a package in Gantt view it is collapsed.  If this is your entire "plan" then you have to click all of the sub-packages and other elements to see the resources allocated, progress etc.  I can understand why it might be better to start off with it collapsed, but can we have an "Expand Branch" like command on the context menu please, so that you can expand from a selected level in the Gantt view all the way down through its children?

2) Column selection - I often don't want to see the status of items in the Gantt view so I'd like to hide this column to recover some screen real-estate, but there appears to be no way to do it.

3) Middle-mouse click and drag to move the view around, like on all other diagrams.  At the moment you have to grab the scroll bars or use your mouse's scroll wheel (but will only operate one of the scroll bars of course).

Many thanks.
