Perhaps introducing a user settings Interface toggle could work for this. A PR is welcome!

I don't think any settings need to be added. I believe it's perfectly reasonable for the outermost "Folders" level to expand automatically when creating a new Folder. Otherwise, users might assume the creation failed.
