It's on my HD ready to be committed, just waiting for Qt 3.1 (neccessary PNG 
TEXT support fix will be in there).

I'd like to leave it where it is now, because of the possibility to configure 
previews per directory and filetype. One thing that sucks about the current 
implementation is that newly installed preview plugins are disabled until 
user enables them. IMHO it should be the other way round, i.e. changing the 
implementation from an enabled-list to a disabled-list. Any UI improvement 
besides moving it completely out of konq and/or merging all previews highly 
appreciated. Hmm, what about this one?

View
...
Previews => Show Previews
                       Settings...

where "Settings..." brings up a dialog for detailed selection while "Show 
Previews" enables / disables all of them at once - or alternatively toggles 
an enabled flag and if previews are enabled, those that are selected via 
"Settings..." will be used, defaulting to all.
