In Gtk, you can add filters to the file chooser dialog, and they're shown in a
combo box. This way the user can select from the available filters (for example
"Show all files", "Show Images", ...).

It would be interesting that this could be offered also in hildon file chooser
dialog.

My proposal would be adding this in the content pane contextual menu (just as
sort and view options are shown) (a combo box in the dialog is too big). Which
way? It seems the most confortable for the user would be adding a separator and
the types as menu items of first level in the context menu. For example:

Sort by type
sort by name
...
---------------
List
Thumbnails
---------------
Show all files
Show image files
