Heyho

I'd like to have "Preview"/"Thumbnail" compromise.
I think it's very useful to have the Images in the Icon-View as little 
Thumbnails, but only the Images, not Movies.
And have a modulized system, which can handle various view-models, like 
a Image viewer (eg. like WindowsExplorer / i had something like that 
with nautilus too) or a movie-player-view, a music-player-view ;), 
probably a font-viewer.
So this heavey work is only loaded if the user use it, that keeps 
Thunar-core small and fast and over the time more flexible.
Because i don't wanna open a completely new application like eog for 
present my friends a image-gallery and I'll like have a fast and easy 
way to listen only to one musicfile, than add this to a playlist or open 
a new player.

Well this is a lot of work and I wouldn't know what to do. :-)

Just an Idea ;)
