Annoyance with the “Open File” and “Assemble Component” commands in Creo 12

Hello,

Yesterday I upgraded from Creo 9.0.8.0 to Creo 12.4.3.0 and noticed an annoyance with the “Open File” and “Assemble Component” commands.

The problem is that Creo 12, unlike Creo 9, keeps the last selected setting in the filter “Type”. In Creo 9, however, the default value would be a generic setting (e.g. *.prt, *.asm, .....).

My question is: is there a way to restore this behavior so that it works like in Creo 9?
I tried searching for a setting in the configuration but couldn't find anything.

The only workaround I can think of is to create a set of macros to open and assemble the ones that preset the generic filter (*.prt, *.asm, etc.).

Does anyone know of a solution or have noticed the same problem?

Thank you
