Currently both of my Activities use Object Chooser, but don't make any attempt to limit what Journal entries can be chosen. I would like to limit Read Etexts to the MIME types text/plain and application/zip, and View Slides to just application/zip. In Sayamindu's code he is using mime.GENERIC_TYPE_IMAGE. There does not seem to be anything comparable that would select what I want selected. I'm looking at the code for sugar.mime here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://api.sugarlabs.org/sugar.mime-pysrc.html">http://api.sugarlabs.org/sugar.mime-pysrc.html</a> I'm wondering if I could make my own filter in my own Activities that would limit the Object Chooser to just plain text and Zip files. I would of course follow your suggestion for backward compatibility.

In that case you should create "port" directory and place there chooser.py file from sugar-port project and use it according to [2]. On 0.84 it will open ObjectChooser with preselected mime type, on 0.82 just open ObjectChooser w/o errors.
