The File Browser display mode is not stored after use. After changing to, say, the icon view, the next time you go to browse it goes back to the default list view.

Blender should remember this setting for the next time the user opens the File Browser.

For inspiration a discussion on StackExchange on the topic of this papercut:
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/23159/how-to-make-the-file-manager-default-to-sorting-by-modification-date

And an add-on:
https://gist.github.com/p2or/59b2795f011f2f024f5e781d1a33a5da

Maybe this fix should include: 'Sort Method', the 'Display Type' and the 'Display Size' like the add-on?

Hey Is this task done ?
If not, can I try it ?
Also any help would be really appreciated as I'm new to blender code.

So i have been working on this task for long time. Finding the file to change itself took most of my time because i am very much new to blender code. Now i think i need to change some parts in 'filesel.c' as this is where it checks for params->display.Can anyone guide me further about how will i store params->display once it is changed ?
Thanks in advance !
