Following from this question…

In Finder's column view, in the preview column, is there a way to (1) reduce the size of the preview "thumbnail", or (2) reduce the enormous amount of whitespace around the preview "thumbnail", or (3) remove the preview "thumbnail" altogether, or (4) reorder the content of the preview column? (Listed in order of decreasing likelihood!)

To the previous question's point, I find the file information in the preview pane is far more useful than the thumbnail. I wish I did not have to continually resize the Finder window or scroll the preview pane to see the info I'm looking for.
