Hmm, strange. Thanks for testing.

From the QFilePreview docs:

This class is an abstract base class which is used to implement 
widgets that can display a preview of a file in a QFileDialog. 
You must derive the preview widget from both QWidget and from this 
class. Then you must reimplement this class's previewUrl() function, 
which is called by the file dialog if the preview of a file 
(specified as a URL) should be shown. 

Any idea, how this could be done, while complying with sip's first 
law?

TIA,
