Comment:

 Thanks so much for adding that preview link!! For a project like this,
 having access to the latest builds is pretty important. Now, I've just
 tried out the preview for a few layers - here's what happens:

 data connections -> these work fine.

 layers -> fusion previews don't work. I always get an error (no matter
 what layer I try): "Failed while creating map preview: There is an error
 in XML document (2,2)."

 The Regular method works in some cases, but not all. One problem is
 definitely scale ranges. If I preview a layer that's got scale ranges, it
 needs to either ignore those ranges in the preview, or else start the
 preview at the first scale. If I zoom out far enough, my layer does appear
 in the legend - but isn't anywhere to be found in the map area. The
 preview should really try to zoom to the extents of the layer.

 My raster layers are working - though they have the same scale range
 problem...

 I have a point layer that reads it's data from a database (DSN) - this
 layer doesn't work. It's got no special scale ranges - so I'm not sure why
 it doesn't show up in the preview...
