P: Add the possibility to disable full image preset preview

In the latest update, full image preview has been added when hovering presets.
While this is fantastic and really useful most of the time, when handling large files like stitched panoramas, my computer crawls to a stop as my 7700K is maxed out for each preset.
Could it be possible to disable that in the settings for such case ?
Thanks

I just downloaded the latest version released today and disabled the hover preview in preferences.  This solved the problem but the Navigator pane preview is much slower than 7.2.  VERY laggy to scroll through Presets watching the preview in the smaller Navigator window.  This is on a late 2016 15" MacBook Pro 2.7GHz i7, w/Radeon Pro 455 and 16GB RAM.

I'm not quite clear on whether you're aware or not, but it was released a couple of weeks ago.

I think this should be a thing, or making the loupepreview available while holding down shift\ctrl\alt\ctrl+alt\ctrl+shift\whatever.

Its nice to have on when trying to find a preset that works with the image, but after that its annoying as h*** to bring the cursor to the left screen seeing the image gets another preset slapped on unintentional... and worst part is that most of the time it doesnt go away after the corsor leaves the preset.

This should been a hotfix, i should not be seeing "3 weeks ago" on a "Shouldn't be too long now:"

When the Profile browser is shown, you can press down the Option/Alt modifier key to temporarily turn off the profile preview in the loupe. This allows you to do a quick before/after comparison without moving the mouse.

Hover over Profiles has never worked correctly on my Windows 7 system. The first one or two profile previews display and then it no longer provides a preview. Running the cursor up and down the profiles eventually restores the preview, but again only for one or two profiles. Anyone else seeing this behavior? I reported this during Prerelease testing, but Adobe Engineering couldn't duplicate the issue.

Correct. Personally I don’t see any advantage of disabling hover for profiles. It only makes it slower and more cumbersome to select the profile you like.

Profiles still provide a full screen preview. I don't believe they were included in the new preference option (seems pretty specific to presets only).

Rob, what happens when you hover over Profiles?
