P: No image preview on Open dialog box on Windows

The preview window in the "Open" dialog box on Windows is gone in Photoshop. So if I click on a PSD file (once) to preview it, there isn't one. I have to completely open the file or go digging for it in Bridge. This is a very fundamental feature that needs to return, especially for those of us that have hundreds of files to dig through. PLEASE fix this.

    When open the "Open-file dialog" and choose a file to open:

    - In Photoshop CS5: you have the ability to see a preview of the selected file you are about to open in the preview section at the bottom of the dialog window.

    - In Photoshop CS6: No preview appears.

    I was using this feature a lot when I am trying to open a .psd file, and now it is gone.

    This is very annoying. Open is one of the most basic functions of any program. How can you screw this up? FIX IT NOW!

    Make it work in List view and Detail view. Switching to Bridge just to open a file - ridiculous. FIX IT NOW!

    It was in CS5, you must know the codes. FIX IT NOW.

    When you go to open a file (jpg, tif, raw... etc) within Photoshop cs6, you no longer see the little thumbnail to see which file you are on. Is there a preference I'm missing or does this version not include it. It is very helpful.

    My PSD files used to be visible as thumbnails now they are shown just as PSD files with no preview pic. I have searched the older topics and couldnt find an answer. I am using CS2 with Vista Ultimate 64bit. Thanks in advance.
