Up until this week, the OpenFileDialog showed only filenames for a given file filter.

Now it displays only icons for the files. WHY DID THIS CHANGE ?????

(using Explorer, the view is 'details' as expected)

 

I really want to see the 'details' view not just filenames in the OpenFileDialog .

More specifically I want to be able to select the 'details' view fields to be displayed in the dialog - such as date created, date modified, size and of course, file name (including sub-folders)
