This is KIO who does all this. I have been thinking on this issue for some=
=20
time (and some time ago). This is *NOT* trivial at all.

Producing a mockup like yours and also having the idea in general is easy. =
Now=20
think about the complexity of the real implementation. You have to handle=20
different set of icon themes, that meaning that where you have placed the=20
pictures could be plain wrong when using another icon theme (because the=20
folder on that iconset can be _completely_ different, maybe an even vertica=
l=20
folder layout).

So, just my 2 cents. The complexity of this would be amazing till iconsets=
=20
provide some information about what "rect" can be filled by the preview cod=
e.=20
However, this would also be wrong, because of the angle that we should give=
 to=20
the pictures. On your mockup this is wrong for instance.
