  The inline preview only gives thumbnails which are not usable when one wants to read text on the image (zoom to 100%). For me, the preview should take place before it is uploaded to the web application because I want to make sure the right thing is uploaded.

  Interesting. Thanks for the hint.

  +1. If the function is added, it should be named Open with... to not be confused with the Open button.

  I come from Windows where the Open item is also available. Not having it feels like a lack of flexibility. I think having it in the context menu will not affect the "normal" user.  Your proposed workaround with "Open containing Folder" -> Press Enter is certainly ok.
