Description of the new feature / enhancement

Add a field where the user can specify the maximum file size he would like to show to the Preview Pane, to avoid showing big files, which would take a lot of time/RAM to load, and in some cases would crash the File Explorer.

Adding a settable parameter (e.g. max_size) would be enough to solve this problem I suppose. As an example, max_size = 1 MB would only show to the Preview Pane files of size up to 1 MB.

Scenario when this would be used?

When the file size too big for the available RAM size.

When the file size (e.g. an svg image in my case) is too big: the Preview Pane takes forever, consumes a lot of RAM to load it and then the File Explorer crashes.
