Hey maurice bahnen, thanks for posting here!

At the moment there is no available setting that'd allow you to do that.

However, I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

If you need anything else, let me know!

Is there any updates on this?

New folders automatically opening is incredibly annoying and takes up so much of my time when I need to file things under time pressure.
