  Coming from the Mac world, they have an even better solution: you can invoke the Quick Look preview from open/save dialogs. So you just select the item, hit space bar, and you get a huge preview that you can even make full screen if you'd like. Hit space bar (or escape, or hit the close button) to close it again. It's super useful and super elegant.
  
  At some point in the Plasma 4 days, we had something similar in the form of KLook. Alas, it broke with the 4 -> 5 transition and I have not been able to find anyone willing to become a new maintainer. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272539
  
  That would be a really killer solution IMHO, if we could find someone willing to resurrect it.
