Improve performance when turning on the preview mode

If a change from a directory with disabled previews is done to a directory with enabled previews, also previews are generated for the previous directory as the preview-generator still contains the not updated directory lister. Because of this it is important to apply the view-properties after the directory-lister has been updated.
