SUMMARY
Modernizes tool tip image and document previews to help locate need item faster
when multiple similar items cant be differentiate from a 256px preview on high
resolution and high dpi displays. as well as reducing the need for opening
other programs and improving productivity.

I propose a tool tip preview that uses the same engine that the information
penile dose instead of the currant pre-made 256px thumbs. This compromise would
save disk space and CPU time by only increasing the load on a single image vs
just changing to a larger thumbs size and would allow real time updates on
saved files and the ability to play videos and gifs as well. It would also be
nice if there was a resize griper in the lower left of the tool tip that would
increase or decrease the size of the tool tip and thus the preview image
displayed as well as remembering the user desired size. 

other things that would be nice to include

a separator bar between the image and Information text that can be clicked to
hide/show or resize the info text allowing larger image when needed or longer
text.
ability to right click on tool tip to show a context menu with customize that
work just like the preview panel showing check box to add/remove items, a menu
to add more information, option to auto play or not, option to show info on
right side or bottom depending on document aspect ratio, option to set fixed
size or use griper.

The ability to select, cut, copy, past, and edit the meta data and name right
from the tool tip

The ability to copy the preview image at its currant size could be useful as
well.
