In wxMaxima 19.05.7, which is the default GUI released in bundle of Maxima 5.43.2(which could be downloaded from sourceforge), there is a unparelled feature dispeared in latter release of wxMaxima.

That is, you could fold all the codes and perform a calculation with very little interruction from unneccessary codes in the process, thus making it a very neat and efficient experience.

Here I attached the calculation screenshot in wxMaxima 19.05.7 and rencent 24.08.0_DevelopemtSnapshot for comparison:
19 05 7

24 08 0 This could be played and compared with any wxm or wxmx files to see and feel the difference.

BTW I found Ctrl+G to stop the calc somehow can't work in 24.08.0.

One more word,In wxMaxima 19.05.7, you fold the codes, then it fold always like a mermaid. Only the neccessary input remindings halt the process. It keep obeys the rule setting until the end of the calculation, which is absolutely elegant.

Hmmm... ...will try to look into it: I never use folding so if something changes here I don't even know how it is supposed to look.

Is the problem that folding now hides input and output? I seem to remember that there was a bug report that it doesn't so my question is now if there should be yet another option that allows to choose if it should.

I use folding to turn off some calculations and not needing to delete them.
