Hi. Unfortunately when we tried to use KParts interfaces we got had too
many unnecessary graphical elements, and we try to keep KLook minimalistic
for better user experience. After contacting maintainer of Okular though it
seems there is some mode for preview. I will look into it soon and see if
it can be used for our needs.

&gt; For now KLook supports:<br>
&gt; - audio and video files (all that supported by Phonon);<br>
&gt; - graphic files (png, jpg);<br>

Does this use KParts in order to embed the viewer for any type of file, or \
does<br> it contain builtin widgets for each type of file? I suppose the \
latter, but<br> using KParts as &quot;fallback for other types of \
files&quot;, such as PDF, PS, and many<br> others.<br>
<br>
It takes about 5 lines of code, using<br>
KMimeTypeTrader::createPartInstanceFromQuery().<br>
