Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At the moment, the "labels" field in the file's informations sidebar is hidden by default. To use it I have to click the three dots in the top-right corner of the sidebar, then click the filed to focus it and finally write.

Describe the solution you'd like

Unless there's some reason you already discussed, I'd find it more comfortable if the field was already visibile at the opening of the sidebar. I know it's a difference of just one step, but to me this additional step seems useless.

Research direction

Start by locating the file information sidebar and the labels/tag menu implementation in the Nextcloud server code, then inspect how the sidebar initializes its visible fields. Make the labels field visible when the sidebar opens and verify that focusing and editing it still work as expected.
