Default vertcial zoom/expand FOLDERS only

Is there any way to vertically zoom folders and their children without affecting the vertical size of tracks outside that folder?

Work flow desire would be this: "ok, I'm about to work on these background vocals. Let's quickly vertically expand all the tracks in the background vocal folder to take up the screen, and let's leave all the other folders and tracks collapsed just as they are and out of view."

I suppose there are quite many ways to do this.
One would be:

Create the Custom Action as In Reaper Action List, you can see here:

Navigate to menu Extensions > Command parameters.
Fill in desired pixels for the parameter "Height A"
The pixel amount will determine the vertical zoom in amount of selected Folder track and it's children tracks.

If you want to have a toggle zoom behaviour, you can make a Cycle Action from the Custom Action, insert a Step command and then after that insert the Action SWS: Undo Zoom.

Beware, for the Custom Action to work, you have to have the free SWS extensions installed:

http://www.sws-extension.org/

Workflow:
- Select a Folder Track and execute the Custom Action.
- Outcome: The children track of the Folder Tracks will also be selected and these
children tracks and folder Track will be vertically zoomed in by the set amount of pixels.
You can use the Action : SWS Undo Zoom to undo the zoom.

(btw: I assume what you want is even scriptable )

Quite old post, but perhaps this could helps someone, you can also use the SWS: Vertical zoom to selected tracks, minimize others
