Description
Nemo preview is quick, useful and not to forget, awesome.
The current Configuration however, is messed up:
- the window isn't centered, but placed with a shift to the bottom right. (Allow me to say, Centered IS neutral, everything else IS "custom")
- the window size itself is insufficient. Rendering of previews is quite useless. Nemo preview can preview anything, and shouldn't be limited to view icons only. Nemo preview needs to be configured correctly so we can preview A4 office documents and photography.
Solution
To sum up:
- place width formats (presentations, landscape photography, etc) at the absolute center (vertical and horizontal center) so files can cover the whole width on screen.
- Place height formats (office documents, portrait photography, etc) at the vertical center on screen so files can cover the whole height on screen

Research direction
Start at the Nemo preview entry point and reproduce the current window placement and size using wide and tall preview content. Trace the configuration responsible for positioning and dimensions; done means wide content is horizontally and vertically centered, while tall content is vertically centered and can use the available screen dimension.
