Nice idea.  I like it.  

Anyhow, I think there should be a RMB menu on the preview widget for disabling 
it.

Activating the preview however is not solved by these.. and I just realized 
that there is already an "automatic preview" menu entry in the RMB menu or 
the itemview, but although (at least in the German translation) the text is 
the same, it is *not* equivalent, but concerned with the preview icons.. ;-}
