UI Updates:
• Files now preview in-app rather than in a pop-out.
• The update message no longer shows when there is no update available (Mac and Windows)
• Users now receive an alert when they reach the maximum message length of 1024 characters.
• Adjustments have been made to ensure long file names are no longer cut off on the third row.
• The app now prevents users from creating a folder with no name, and users are now alerted when they reach the maximum of 64 characters in a folder name.

Linux (Debian):
