Mostly normal schedule this week

Please make posts public if you can!

How do we handle window resizing? What is the window resolution? There is no requirement to make the window resizable. You can either have it non-resizable OR handle resizing.
What is an invalid filename? Assume a Unix-based file system. What constitutes a valid filename? What could invalid mean?
File chooser - which class to use? Use the JFX version of the file chooser (I actually don’t care which one you use, this will be the easiest/best integrated).
What does ‘selected’ in the status bar mean? What if nothing is selected. Consistency is the key… either force something to be always selected, or clear the status line with nothing is selected.
Should menubars (e.g. File, Edit, View) be selectable, and how do we decide what goes under each menu? Look at the spec to write down each item that states that it should have a menu item, then decide where they go. Look at existing apps for ideas. Apart from obvious ones (File-Quit) you have flexibility on how you structure this.
