It's certainly one possibility. It would also be easier to make that approach cope with multiple selections (a few possibilities spring to mind, the simplest being next/previous buttons in the preview area to cycle through the selected files). In that way you could do a quick side-by-side comparison of selected files, which the tooltip approach doesn't lend itself so well to.
