Hello,

i found a way to do that easy by using a macro.

Type 'q' to begin recording the macro, then select a register between a-z. Now type the macro '/{' + 'zf%'. Press q at the end to finish recording.
Now you can do something like '10@q' to play 10 times this macro. I still need to improve it to make it begin at the top of the file and end at the bottom, but it's already a quick easy way to deserve the purpose.

Summary :
Create macro

Code:

qa/{<Enter>zf%q

Execute macro

Code:

10@a

Just be careful to not doing zf multiple times on the same {

Enjoy

EDIT : I'm here again, just call :set nowrapscan to configure search not going back to the beggining of the file. Then you can simply do 1000@a end all functions gonna be collapse 1 time.

VIMDIFF(1)                                                    General Commands Manual                                                   VIMDIFF(1)

NAME

       vimdiff - edit two, three or four versions of a file with Vim and show differences

SYNOPSIS

       vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4]]

       gvimdiff

DESCRIPTION

       Vimdiff  starts  Vim  on  two (or three or four) files.  Each file gets its own window.  The differences between the files are highlighted.
       This is a nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version to another version of the same file.

       See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.

       When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if available.

       In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differences to be highlighted.
       The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
       The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines without changes in a fold.  'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy
       to spot the folds and open or close them.

OPTIONS

       Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument was used.  To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.

       For all other arguments see vim(1).
