--- Comment #5 from Christoph <[email protected]> ---
Proposal for solving this issue in general.

Assumption: Also other regularly updated previews are troublesome - besides
print preview (e.g. insert diagram, insert picture from file). However,
previews itself are considered to be helpful and should be available on demand.

Option:
* Add expert option "Render previews automatically" (LibO wide setting)
* Expert option: Since common issue if LibO is set up for remote use / on thin
clients - otherwise it might further clutter the UI.

Behavior:
* If option is "true" (default setting), then behave as today (and render
previews, see technical note below).
* If option is "false", then ...
** Show/reserve space for preview, show info like "Click for preview"
** If user clicks on space, then previews are being rendered/shown (only for
this dialog session).

Note: Technically, previews should only be updated if "something" changed from
the user's point-of-view (e.g if the print range is changed, it is not required
to redraw the currently displayed page preview, if the previewed page is
identical).

Detailed spec / description on demand.
