[Obsidian](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/apps/obsidian>) has released [1.13.4 for desktop](<https://obsidian.md/changelog/2026-07-27-desktop-v1.13.4/>) 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.

## Fixes

- 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.
