It looks and feels pretty neat!

No, I think it's a performance thing. Drawing at high quality is  
pretty expensive, and would make resizing sluggish.

Should there perhaps be a file icon badge or something?

Deleting an item (dragging to trash) does not remove the item, it  
just empties it (giving me a question mark). i think the item should  
be removed. Also there should be some more direct way to delete (menu  
item, hitting Delete, delete: action, in combination with selection)

How did you think to manage the set of items and the counter for the  
name? Should the items be reassigned when an item is removed? Perhaps  
we should just have an array of items, and determine the field name  
when saving only.

The slider should follow the actual zoom (if you use the zoom menu  
items).

And the minimum size should not be zero.

I just had a crash:
1. close the window
2. quit

Most of these remarks are about the test app, not the concept, so not  
very relevant.
