Feature description
🧠User story: As a privacy‑first user, I want lightweight viewers so that I can preview files without leaving the app or calling network.
💡Proposal: Built‑in viewers for images, text, and audio with no external calls.
✨Acceptance criteria: Image viewer (zoom, swipe), text editor (monospace, wrap), audio player (seek, background).
Respect global “disable thumbnails/previews” privacy switch.
Open remote files via streaming when available; do not prefetch without user action.
Why do you want this feature?
Switching apps slows workflow; remote previews need offline safety.
Additional information
🤍🤝Notes/Tech hints: Use ExoPlayer for audio; simple editor for text; gate heavy decoding behind settings.
