Notepad++ default FileChooser view type

Question

Often when I am working on a bunch of files in Notepad++, I need to open the most recently modified file out of many in a log directory. I find that I need to get to the 'Open' dialog and then change the view type to 'Details' and then sort on the Timestamp column.

To reduce the number of clicks , I wonder if there is a way to default the 'Open' File Chooser dialog to use the 'Details' view instead of the 'List' view?

The free for home Users Direct Folders product will solve the problem in a general way for all open dialogs.

Here is what it says:

Direct Folders actions when the file dialog opens:

• Resizes the file dialog box.
• Sets the custom files view mode and sort order.
