Perhaps you could use the cairo renderer for the previews, since we already include cairo, so you'll only need to include some bits from rsvg (or whatever the cairo-based svg viewer is called). This can be done in a different thread and I suspect would be generally faster than Inkscape renderer anway.

I think it would be faster, and I would absolutely *love* to use cairo - and indeed that was my initial plan, but last I looked, I didn't see rsvg in the bundle, and I didn't want to add the extra as a dependancy. But I see that it is there now - I shall give it a try!

Just curious: will there be a "toggle preview on/off" possibility as in the current file dialog?

There should be no problem adding that sort of refinement. I could even append it as a button on right-hand end of the toolbar there.

Hey thanks mate - that's really encouraging! Maybe this whole mission is good for me - character building.
