In the file dialog, save the user's preference for grid vs. list view

[1000nettles]

When using the file dialog in Godot, I really like the list view as I have always found grid view hard to view (not because of Godot - I've always just preferred list view on my OS.) I find myself selecting list view manually every time I open the file dialog.

It would be awesome if the editor itself saved if you have selected list view vs. grid view in the file dialog, and defaulting to that next time it was opened. To reproduce, try changing to list view in the file dialog, close it, close the Godot Engine, reopen the Godot Engine, and then open the file dialog again - it should not have saved what you had selected previously.

It also may make sense to save the hidden files toggle and sorting settings, if the user has changed them.

Is this something that would be worth adding to Godot? Thanks!

There is filesystem/file_dialog/display_mode editor setting, it's just not remembered automatically.

I had no idea, thanks!
