    Hello! Thank you rfrazier for your feedback. To opt out, you can go through the layout filter view and select "Full Screen" in order to opt out. Let me know if that works for you.

I've been hoping for months this was a bug and would get fixed. This is NOT a help for me. I manage hundreds of videos and pics. Having the preview panel open every time I select a file is absolutely irritating. The item I am focused on jumps to the left and an option I don't want needs to be clicked away.  Please make this optional.  I see others have this issue but for whatever reason I cannot reply to them. So here is yet another request.
