No.

The generic types have problems:

* "Text" is not the same for Write and for Read.
Then when I "Choose something to Read" want all the files Read can open.
I don't care if that text file was created by Write or if is a PDF,
but don't want open a abiword file, because will crash.

* The other case is Jukebox: I don't care if is Audio or Video,
I want open everything  Jukebox can open,
even if the last time was opened by Browse.

Then, what I am proposing is when the filter is one activity,
show all the objects with mime type the activity can open.
