Question

Exporting frames with specific name


jg444

I would like to export an n number of frames that have a specific name. I don’t want to have to manually select each frame. There are 100’s of frames that need to be exported.

Is this possible today with, or without a plugin?

Is my problem/request that unique?

Idk, the request sounds pretty strange to me, I have no idea in what context you would want to do that. Have you tried Similayer plugin to select the frames? Also if you only want X frames with specific name (where X < total number of frames with that name), how would you expect the app/plugin to know which frames you want without you manually selecting/deselecting them (given that you don’t want to manually select them)?

I found a good work around. Have not stress tested it to see how many frames can be exported without crashing Figma.

Here is what I am doing:

  1. Give all the frames you want to export a unique prefix
  2. Use a plugin called “Select Layers” to select the frames with the prefix above
  3. All layers will be selected
  4. Click Export
  5. Wala!
