[feature-request] Show downloads in content picker

I'd had to upload some files which I received by mail. When uploading files with the Sailfish browser, the content picker dialog shows the category Documents in which I'm missing downloaded e-mail attachments which show up in the documents application.

It seems to me, that the documents application shows files from more locations than ~/Documents. For examle, e-mail attachments from ~/Downloads/mail_attachments.

What about adding the category Downloads to the content picker? This would allow to access e-mail attachments (and other downloads) for uploading or as e-mail attachment.

Sure, it's possible to make at least some attachments to appear in the Documents category by moving them from ~/Downlaods to ~/Documents unsing the shell or the file manager. But having the downloads available in the content picker would be way more convenient.
