Forcing the NSOpenPanel View Option

Is it possible to force or maybe even restrict the view option of an openPanel? For example I want the openPanel to only display the Cover flow view or Icon view upon activation. If restriction is not possible - how can I set the default view?

Thanks.

you can make all non-selectable files be transparent via the delegate - (BOOL)panel:(id)sender shouldEnableURL:(NSURL *)url

there are more delegate methods in the NSOpenSavePanelDelegate

Unfortunately, there is no such API available in NSSavePanel nor NSOpenPanel, you may want to consider filing an enhancement request at http://bugreport.apple.com
