Change file view in Open File view
I'm a new convert to Ubuntu 18.04 and while most things are quite intuitive and accessible, I cannot find how to change the view of files in an "Open Files" dialogue.
I have the "Files" application showing thumbnails via the preferences but when in any application and doing File... Open... they are only ever presented in list view. I would like this to also be a thumbnail view as I work predominantly with graphic files that have non descriptive file names.
Is this possible and if so, could someone help me find please?
With apologies if it's blindingly obvious and I've missed it :)
