Yup.  I think it makes less sense in editor windows.  Editor windows are small, 
so there it's mainly useful as a drop target or quick look target.

It does operate...it just resizes the icons in the preview pane, not the side 
pane, so it's misplaced.  I have some ideas on improving that in general so any 
fileview has a slider.

Interesting...how so for pub windows?

In this version, it's either textview or fileview, and I haven't finished 
lobotomizing things yet :).  I just threw this out there because it answers a 
couple of things people have asked about, and sometimes it's helpful to see 
ideas in a functional demo.
