You would think that it would be very simple to default an OpenFileDialog to any view type you want via its properties. However, there is no property exposed for setting the view type. I simply want to browse for images with my OpenFileDialog instance, and I would prefer for the user not to have to manually set the view type to Thumbnail everytime.
I found a couple of solutions:

and the following offers even more functionality:

If someone else has found or created a better solution, please let me know.
