Summary

The "All notes" view shows each note's category as a second line. For people who do not use categories at all, every single row reads Uncategorized, which adds noise without information (see #1888).

This adds a user setting "Show category names in the list of all notes" (showCategoryInList) with a switch in the app settings.

  • The default is on, so nothing changes for existing users.
  • Turning it off hides the category line in the "All notes" view immediately.

Fixes #1888

Testing

Verified in the browser (Chromium and WebKit): labels are shown by default, the switch hides and restores them live without a reload, and the choice is persisted per user.

The All notes view shows each note's category as a second line, which
reads Uncategorized on every single row for people who do not use
categories at all. Add the user setting showCategoryInList with a
switch in the app settings. The default keeps the current behavior of
showing the category names.

Fixes nextcloud#1888
