The moise over preview in very usefull but also very anoying when you are manageing files. i.e. I had to select lots of files to rotate and it was annoying having the preview popu as I was moving around Ctrl Clicking.
Is there a way of turning it off preferabley by a toggle keyboard command.
I have used it very positivly when selecting images as I can have smaller thumbnails, that is why I would preffer a quick toggle on and off

I have a feeling that the preview pop-ups are controlled by the "show info tips" check-box in the options. However, I do not manage to see the info tips on my screen at all - it looks like the preview pop-ups competely replaced the info-tips. Do I miss something?

arvils is right. You can enable/disable and configure the info tips (including the mouseover preview thumbnail) under TOOLS > OPTIONS > FILE LIST. However, there does not seem to be a quick keyboard shortcut to toggle it.

arvils,
Tools > Options > File List
The relevant options are:
"Show info tips ..." > Turns the Tips on or off.
"Auto hide ..." > If selected, the Tips disappear after a short time (as they used to in previous versions); if unselected they remain visible for as long as the mouse is on the thumbnail.
"Show text ..." > This is what you used to get in previous versions (use the "Configure ..." button to choose what you want to see).
"Show thumbnails ..." > I.e. the larger "preview" version.

Instant preview is a very good idea but it shoud be easily turned off/on with a shortcut key. Please make such a shortcut available in the next beta. It will really come in handy.

Thanks have turned them of for now as i am doing a lot of file management and they just get in the way. As a Photoshop and lightroom user i still revert to ACDsee for my file management and quick corrections. Using the INstant Preview would be very useful for identifying the blurred photos etc. so again a quick on and off shortcut key would be great.

Well, for the time being, I think the fastest way to toggle this feature is using the keyboard shortcut ALT + O for opening the options window and then toggling the preview switch. ALT + O opens the options dialogue in the last visited section, so if you don't use other sections of options regularly you should immediately have the switch available.

Thank god for that, thanks for the tip, I was about to through it out of the window....maybe be useful, but VERY annoying when wading through 600 wedding photos from Saturday.
