Allow application to set default view (list/grid) of file dialog before showing it about fyne HOT 4 OPEN

The filenames my users are using are quite long (30+ characters).
In my experience, the grid view only allows to show a short substring of the filename. If I understand it correctly, this was also the initial reason to implement the list view (as described here: #2165)
As the filenames all start with the same characters, and are only distinguished by the last few characters, using the grid view it is difficult to distinguish between the different files. My users reported that with the list view it is easier for them, which is why I would like to set this as the default.

It doesn't need to be SetDefaultView, just SetView would work.
However the latest version remembers your preference, is that not sufficient?

I would prefer if I could already provide the appropriate view for my usecase from the beginning, as the current default view (grid) currently is a problem for my users. Telling them how they can change it would require an additional documentation step, which is why I would prefer that the dialog is opened with the list view already from the beginning.

If you agree that this could be a useful feature I can look into the implementation, if its fine for you.

I'm curious to understand why the grid view is a problem, but it seems like you have a real use-case there.
