Description G360 2014-06-27 19:24:28 UTC
Tying to find something using the 'File type' option (in Contents tab) shows a really huge list of files types, which is not practical nor useful for the majority of users.

It would be more practical to only show generic types (not specific), like it is shown at the beginning of the list, but in a more user friendly order, like: 

All, Files, Folders, Plain text, Office docs, Images, Audio, Video, ..., Symbolic links, Special files, Executables, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
An unpractical huge list.

Expected Results:  
See an easy to navigate list, where it can be possible to find in little time the desired option.
