- Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
Client: Figma Desktop App version 107.1
OS: macoS Big Sur 11.2.3
Scenario:
i. Copy to the clipboard the link to a design from one of your projects. It should be from a page other than that displayed when you start Figma.
ii. Start Figma
iii. In the menu at the top, click on File > Open File URL From Clipboard: nothing happens
iv. Go to the page (not necessarily the design) that the link points to
v. Click again on File > Open File URL From Clipboard: this time it works. This doesn’t mean that you need to be on the linked page in order for the link to correctly open: indeed, if at the end of step iv you go to a different page, opening the link will still work from there. So it seems what matters is not the page that you’re on when opening the link; rather, what matters is the fact that the page that the link points to has been opened at any point after starting Figma.
