The current objectadmin grid doesn't have an option for filter by
category by default.  It's been on the todo list for some time:

Voting for and or adding your comments to the ticket would go along
way to raising its priority.

(Any would be sponsors out there?)

The "objectadmin" tag used to build all the FarCry admin grids is
deceptively complex.  There are a lot of options available for
changing up the way this displays and filters content.  Take a look at
the attributes and see if there is anything that might suit as a
workaround. It's also possible to right your own CF template to list
images.

I've promoted outstanding objectadmin issues to the 5.1 release
schedule.  That will improve their chances of getting fixed for the
next release -- but won't help you unless you can upgrade to 5.1.
