Hello, and welcome to Onlook Design Updates for Friday, November 13th, 2026.
Today was quiet with no broader pattern across the codebase — just one focused, high-impact reliability fix around image renaming.
The change, in pull request 3145, tightens the logic that updates image references when a file is renamed. Previously, a file-name-only fallback could match inside longer filenames, so renaming logo dot png risked corrupting references to dark dash logo dot png or other overlapping names like x logo dot png. The fix…
In practice, that protection covers source attributes, class names, and background image styles — the places where a bad string replacement would silently break images or styling. For developers, the impact is direct: fewer hard-to-trace visual regressions after an asset rename, less manual cleanup of false matches,…
The update responds to issue 3144 and includes regression tests for these overlapping-name cases, which should lock in the safer behavior and make future changes to the image tab easier to verify.
What's next: if you work on asset tooling or the image workflow, expect more predictable renames, and watch the linked issue for any follow-up validation or…
