Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I don't find categories useful and would like the option to hide them in general.

Since 4.8 it seems the default is to expand the category navigation on any visit to the notes app?

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to set the default action as collapse or uncollapse categories in addition to hiding the "uncategorized" text.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Disable categories in admin settings?

Additional context
I have about 20 note files I use and rarely make new ones. I don't need to categorize such a few amount of note files. I'd like the option to reclaim the space and remove "uncategorized" in general to make the overall interface cleaner and more suited for my workflow.

Research direction

Start by locating the notes app's category navigation and reviewing how its expanded or collapsed state is currently chosen. Implement a persistent preference for the navigation state and the requested handling of the uncategorized label, then verify that the choice remains consistent across visits.
