  **macOS Finder's Information Panel equivalent**
  Like Dolphin:
  
  - Has an unlimited maximum width
  - Limits the size of an un-previewed icon when the panel is really wide
  
  Unlike Dolphin:
  
  - Does not offer folders previews at all
  - Does not animate the transition when the selection changes
  
  As a result, Finder doesn't have this issue. Thoughts for paths forward here:
  
  - Don't resize the folder previews to take up the full available width
  - Display a preview of the folder's contents that looks more different (e.g. more of the content, and less of the folder icon itself in the background), so the resize animation makes people realize that what's being displayed is a preview of the contents
  - Leave it as-is and WONTFIX the bug :(
