Yes, but that's the per-protocol thing, not the per-mimetype thing, which
gets passed in to startImagePreview.

Of course, (eg) HTML previews could show in tooltips even when they're
turned off in the icon view - this may be OK as the user has to take
slightly more action to see the tooltip preview.

Would anyone object to this state of affairs?
