But even zoom to 200% does not help much, since still only a small part of the file is shown. I usually identify a text file from it's name, not it's preview. So I think it's a feature not worth for a standalone option on the Preview tab. However, identifying a picture or video from its thumbnail is very convenient. So I suggest make picture and video preview a standalone option instead. This will make File Preview more usable.
