file selection dialog size/sort preferences,forgotten

[Jose L Canciani]

Hello!

Did someone found a solution to this problem? It's really annoying when 
you open files all the time.

I've seen similar bugs over the internet like this one: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/982742 
but is not a Chrome bug, it appears to be a Nautilus bug.

Regards,
Jose
