F11 currently displays the thumbnails of PDF, Office etc.
Do you get thumbnails for those files?

The next version (XY 15.50) will introduce a totally rewritten preview that should all Office stuff much better than the current one.

I've abandoned ship with this Windows 10 Preview (too buggy) but will be on the lookout for next XY version for sure (if i accept Windows 10).

Can't wait :!:

Curiosity... do you think the default preview window at the bottom will become expandable?

What do you mean?

You know that it's top margin is dragable up, to make it higher?

And you can use Floating Preview - this even can be shown fullscreen.

Since the floating preview cannot handle doc-files etc, I think he probably means the preview tab of the info panel - some suggestions for improvement:

Now i got it (finally)!
Was trying to grab/drag the preview "toolbar" instead of the tab part! :naughty:

F11 preview window doesn't work at all for any file types.

If there's no plugin for .wpd or .odt files i might have to stick with PowerDesk.
