It is, but in the new konq it seems to be done in the same way as
Nautilus. The old konq was GREAT. Hovering over a file would bring up
a popup with a decent, usable size preview of pictures, videos, text,
pdfs, etc [never tried it with audio]. This way, you could have lots
of closely-spaced 'detail' lines in a window, and still get a large
view for any one by just hovering. I used it for organizing photos in
dirs, and liked it better than any other photo organizer tools I have
seen.

The 'new' way seems to force you to have large 'previews', which means
you can only get a few lines in a window - unless I'm missing
something about the setup. MUCH inferior to the 'old' way IMHO.

But - if there's a way to do it the 'old' way, please let me know.
