Obsidian has released 1.13.4 for desktop in early access, with interface and Live Preview refinements alongside several bug fixes.

Improvements

The image lightbox now shows the file name of the current image.
Page Preview settings have an improved layout.
Download counts for plugins and themes are abbreviated in Settings.
The "Interface" tab has moved above "Editor" in the settings sidebar.
Live Preview: inline images align better with surrounding text, and extra padding around them has been removed.

A rare race condition that could leave a file stuck and unable to save until the app was restarted.
The app failing to load if a view threw errors while the workspace was loading.
Appearance of image action buttons on older installers.
Page Preview settings not showing entries from Community plugins.
The settings window's close button not being visible when "Open settings in new window" is off.
Live Preview: appearance of non-image embed actions, images disappearing when editing a Markdown embed while scrolling, and editor line height not being preserved when editing an image embed on an indented line with no other text.
