I haven't been able to get the tooltip preview to show the contents.

I've jacked the limit to 10M and still don't see the first page with the
mouseover, just the file meta-info (comment, rating, tags, etc) even for
smaller PDFs, 10K-20K.

I'm not sure if this is an attribute of the file system -- no, I've just
copied a 14K PDF to HOME where I can see _other_ first pages.

Under 'file associations' -> applications -> pdf -> embedding
I have "use settings for application group"
So if it works for others in the group ... why not here?

I do
