I am trying to get Obsidian to open upon startup with all of the folders collapsed, as currently it opens with everything expanded. This would be much more convenient for me than using a keyboard shortcut or the core plugin every time I open Obsidian.
There’s no option for this that I’m aware of but the state of my folders, collapsed or not, is the same when I close and re-open my vault. Perhaps a plugin is expanding everything? Have a look at the troubleshooting steps.
This button here is a quick way to collapse everything →
