With 1.1.0 This is no longer issue though it seem s it developed some
misconception in the text which is displayed in right top corner of image when
viewed now. 

It seems there is some mismatch:

-When I have checked option "Embedded preview loads full image size" and view
RAW image I can see the text in right top corner: "Half Size Raw Preview" while
actually displayed image is "Full size Embedded Preview"

-When I uncheck option "Embedded preview loads full image size" I can se this
text: "Embedded JPEG preview". While acutally this "Half Size Embedded Preview"

So it's quite apparently switched. I experienced this behavior with both .PEF
raw and .DNG.

Anyway i would argue using text "Embedded JPEG preview" with raw images. I'm
not aware of any current case though in future definitely we will have raw
previews which won't be JPEG but i.e. PNG or other. So I suggest using
"Embedded Preview" term only without format specification.

Also another rather unimportant though not very logical issue is displaying of
normal (not RAW) images:

While the full size image is viewed I can see the text "Full Size Preview".
Though in this case using word preview is misleading. This is not the preview,
this actually Image. So I would suggest to use "Full Size Image" instead.

The same for "Half Size Preview" which actually is "Half Size Image".
