I'd like to add one thing: configuring previews is a pain. Example: I'm using 
CVS and I'd like to enable previews just for "Images", "Font Files", and 
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)". The Preview submenu (under the View menu) 
shows me, besides the "Show Previews" toggle action, 7 types of files which 
can be previewed, all of them being initially selected. In order to configure 
previews just for the three types I said before, I need to click on the View 
Menu, go to the preview menu and deselect a type exactly four times. Not very 
Useable IMO. I'd suggest moving this kind of setting to the configuration 
dialog (yes, I know this can be difficult because the thumbgenerator plugins 
are loaded dynamically, but that's not impossible).

Just one more thing: I'd like to start working on some of the suggestions, but 
I'd like to discuss them on kfm-devel first. Is there any easy way to convert 
the xml report file into something easier to read?
