Yes, I always forget that D to D7, too ... so if there's a little finger-picked twiddle in my playing when I come to that change, it's not because I'm trying to be flash... it's because I've got my fingers in the wrong place!

Can I add another chord? Which left-hand fingers do you use for the open G? I learned to put fingers one and two on the lowest two strings... then discovered that if I use fingers two and three for that, and the little finger on the top string, I have an index finger free to strike another note... and occasionally one that fits!
