using xincludes

Does anyone know how to collapse all file references quickly when using a document containing a bunch of xincludes to reference other docs, but allow the file name to display?

Normally I use entities, but AE 6.0M060 crashes when the parent document is open and a child is edited. Later iterations of 6.0 have the same problem. Work around is using xincludes but all children are expanded when the parent is opened, making a really long document to scroll through.

If you highlight the xinclude and use ctrl+shift+a_number does that get you a better view?

ctrl+shift+1 collapses the selected to the children of the element

ctrl+shift+2 collapses the selected to the grand-children of the element

ctrl+shilf+3 collapses the selected to the great-grand-children

etc.
