Hi,

is it possible to have the old behaviour back which toggled the preview pane on presing F11?

The inlone preview doesn't really make a difference for the dialog if it is enabled or disabled. The dialog looks the same. So if there is no image hovered, the dialog looks ok.
It does not if the preview pane is enabled. The right half of the dialog is just empty. Pressing F11 if you do not want to select an image this time was really great.
There is already the button for toggling the inline preview.

For me the inline preview is not useful, since I like to have the icons on minimal size. Resizing them to a (for me) acceptable size lets me have 4 icons in the dir listing view. So I hope the preview pane handling could be made a bit easier again. Selecting an option from the tool button menu is just too much if you do it many times a day. Thanks for listening. :)

This is easy enough these days. Withdrawing my request. :)
