Hello! May i ask you? Why the layer icon for a vector image sometimes is a thumbnail (miniature) of the image itself, but sometimes it is a bezier curve?

Many thanks in advance


what is the name of this icon (that looks like โ€œNโ€)? 🙂


Path, curve, Bezier curve, vector.


thank you very much 🙏


Hi, tank666, thank you for your answer! Can you please also tell how Figma recognizes if an icon is complex or not? At what point a miniature become a standart Bezier curve icon?


Unfortunately, I donโ€™t know such details. If Iโ€™m not mistaken, I once saw an article by an engineer from Figma who talked about his work, including the vector icon in the layers panel. But I canโ€™t find this article.


Ok, thank you anyway!
