Comment (by pulkomandy):

 There is a trap here: when you select "open with", you are always opening
 a single application. When you use cmd+O, there may be different apps to
 open for each file. So, Tracker should:
 * Get the preferred app for each file
 * Group the files by preferred app
 * Open each app once and send the group of files to it in one go

 So if you select a mix of pictures and videos (typical set of files from a
 digital camera), you'd get both ShowImage and MediaPlayer open, and the
 slideshow and video playlist starting to run at the same time. Better than
 opening a hundred windows, but still not perfect.
