V15: Immersive Reading, Image Controls, and Better PDF Search
Immersive reading. Image controls. Better PDF search. V15 is here.
Fifteen releases. Fifteen weeks. V15 redesigns the reading experience with fullscreen mode, auto-hide controls, and a new light reading theme. Image zoom and rotate controls give you more power over your images. Video timeline gaps let you space clips precisely. PDF search no longer jumps around. And your tabs restore when you reopen the app.
What's New in V15
Immersive Reading Experience
The reading experience has been completely redesigned. Enter fullscreen mode with zoom controls for any document preview -- markdown, text, PDF, Word, code, data, or diagrams. Controls auto-hide when you are reading and reappear on hover. A new light reading theme brings a clean, paper-like appearance across all previews. The markdown preview is now reading-first, optimized for long documents.
Image & Video Controls
Zoom into image details and rotate with new controls. Video preview gets dedicated playback controls. In the video editor, a new timeline gap feature lets you add precise spacing between clips -- perfect for pacing and transitions.
PDF Improvements
PDF search no longer jumps unexpectedly or loses highlights as you scroll through large documents. Search highlighting now works correctly with Google Docs exports. Default zoom increased to 175% for more comfortable reading. And your PDF annotations are now protected with unsaved changes detection.
Workspace Polish
Your open tabs now restore when you reopen Diwadi. Keyboard shortcuts toggle sidebars instantly. A new hidden files toggle appears in the file browser. Preview controls have been consolidated into clean dropdown menus across all file types.
