 - `filterList` and `filterCount`: Set these to customize the file filter (it appears as a dropdown menu on Windows and Linux, but simply hides files on macOS).  Set `filterList` to a pointer to the start of the array of filter items and `filterCount` to the number of filter items in that array.  See the "File Filter Syntax" section below for details.
-- `defaultPath`: Set this to the default folder that the dialog should open to (on Windows, if there is a recently used folder, it opens to that folder instead of the folder you pass).
+- `defaultPath`: Set this to the default folder that the dialog should open to (on Windows, if there is a recently used folder, it opens to that folder instead of the folder you pass, unless the `overrideRecentWithDefault `value is set to 1).
 - `defaultName`: (For SaveDialog only) Set this to the file name that should be pre-filled on the dialog.
 - `parentWindow`: Set this to the native window handle of the parent of this dialog.  See the "Usage with a Platform Abstraction Framework" section for details.  It is also possible to pass a handle even if you do not use a platform abstraction framework.
+- `overrideRecentWithDefault`: Set this to 1 to use the `defaultPath` instead of the most recent folder on Windows.
