Aaron,

Thanks for the info! One of our other developers has just finished on 
this, he made a preview plugin, and it works great! He's working to see 
if we can get a flag to bypass the 100MB preview limit for our plugin 
though, because some of our packages are rather large, but the png image 
is still only 2k or so at the beginning of the file :)
