We have established a convention recently of exposing the most important
settings from popovers, then aligning a popover to control more detailed
settings.
The file browser has some nice display / filtering settings, but they're
hidden in popovers at the moment, so it's sometimes a pain to use them.
The "display as" options now echoes the viewport shading popover, and
filter settings echoes the overlays popover. This convention is familiar
and intuitive for users and makes interaction faster.

It works well with small widths because of the flow layout that's already used in this area.
