Having a way to show more information about a file (like a thumbnail, or
a way to preview an mp3) is something that would be nice. However, the
popup-on-hover idea isn't imho very nice. It keeps accidentally
triggering when you just rest the mouse somewhere, covering other icons.
There has been some discussions on alternate ways to handle this, but
nothing concrete has happened.
Suggestion 2 looks interesting though.
