On the admin screens for defining menus (eg admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links and admin/build/menu-customize/navigation) it would be useful if the displayed menus themselves were collapsible. This would make loading and viewing long menu admin screens faster and clearer. Here's a screenshot, to make it clear:

The arrows point to menus that should be collapsible.
It would also be nice if the default 'collapsed/expanded' state were configurable.
btw, there are a number of threads discussing similar points. However, they generally aren't clear about whether they're talking about the Administration Menu contrib module or the config interface for the core Menu module. I'm talking about the latter. For example, the feature request at http://drupal.org/node/349262 seems to cover the admin menu module. Whereas at http://drupal.org/node/349003 it's unclear which is being discussed.

Kylian-1 commentedMy menus are too long and some times displaying my primary link's on the admin's menus page produce this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6235715 bytes) in /home/www/5bd7f5647a1a06f9f4506ccc679902b9/web/includes/common.inc on line 167
I cannot configure the server memory options since my Drupal site is hosted on an Internet provider.
Other times a menu pops on the page with a message saying the execution of "Script : http://www.mysite.com/misc/jquery.js?7:13" does not terminates.

rukaya commentedI'd like this too. How would one go about doing it? It must be possible with theme_menu_overview_form (modules/menu/menu.admin.inc). I've done a javascript solution to it which seems to work ok for me. You need to add the javascript to your administration theme using the .info file, and substitute your theme name in the code where necessary.
Because I am also adding a lot of custom javascript to certain pages for my administration theme, I actually included it only for the primary links menu like this:

dddave commentedNo new features in D6 at this point.
Perhaps this is better discussed in the module development forum?
