I would really appreciate to have the same style of "Show in Groups" in the open dialog. That makes it so easy to find the correct files.

Thats the feature I mean: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qapdbswj4rA/SRxpgqhpNYI/AAAAAAAAAKg/Naz4TrQhh-Q/s1600-h/grouping.jpeg

Well, in the screen shot, you manage to get six entries displayed in a size that is actually bigger than the file dialog's size. Not sure if this should be done for the file dialog.

Anyway, there is a "Sort by Type" option in file dialog now, please clearify if this solves the bug for you.

No I would really enjoy the exact same view...
