If I use “ctrl + c” to copy a file from my computer, then select the layer in Figma I want to update and use “ctrl +v” to paste/replace it. The layer will inherit the name of the file on the desktop. So if it’s “IMG_ASD123” the Figma layer changes to be named this instead of what it was labeled in Figma. Is this a recent update? It never used to happen? It’s a bit frustrating as I used to name my layers “Asset (3:4)” or whatnot to indicate to dev what the ratio of the asset was but now I need to keep renaming it everytime I copy/paste a new assets onto the layer. Is there a way to disable this at all? Thanks in advance! 🙂

My Figma app updated and the new layers UI has become unusable for me. I rely heavily on the previous layer icons to know what is a frame vs a group vs autolayout vs a component. The images in the layers panel is not useful to me. Is there a way to restore the old icons in the layers panel?

Hi,I’ve placed a component with a variant (an expanded dropdown on click) within another component (a form). When I place an instance of my ‘form’ component into a frame the dropdown variant doesn't prototype correctly, it appears all squashed/distorted. Does anyone know why a component would stop working once it’s nested within another component? Thank you 

Hello! I am trying to get variables from my library, just that. Because Code Connect is available for Organizations and Enterprise plans, I want to use Code Connect, since I am a member of a Organization. The steps I am following are the following: When doing: ​​​​​​​npx figma connect create 'https://www.figma.com/design/nnndf7M06aEAl6E4coNEbx/Mercury-Tokens?node-id=2-13' FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN=figd_TSv1OsaADUrVWql09slhjoxDXgbRc5*****I am getting: No config file found in /Users/bruno.sastre/Desktop/genexus/code-connect, proceeding with default options Using "html" parser as package.json containing no other supported web frameworks was found in /Users/bruno.sastre/Desktop/genexus/code-connect. If this is incorrect, please check you are running Code Connect from your project root, or add a `parser` key to your config file.

Hi! Today I opened Figma and the Design file disappeared from the Team project. I didn't delete it and it's not in the trash either. Definitely not 30 days have passed, because a couple of days ago I sent a link to another person to view. At the same time, other design files remained in the team project. Maybe someone has had the same thing happen recently and managed to solve it somehow?

First of all, kudos to the Figma team for Sites, it’s an amazing product even in beta. I've been looking forward to Figma making this happen, an easy way to publish a website directly.I’ve been moving our website from Framer to Figma hoping to switch, however I encountered one issue: I have text styles with breakpoints for desktop, tablet and mobile. Everything looks good in the preview, however when I publish the site, styles use the values for the mobile breakpoints even on the desktop.Interestingly enough, if I resize the browser window to a smaller size and then back again, it works. So it looks like the first view is the one with the issue.At some point, I think it was working properly, but now this issue is back again. I can’t seem to see any correlations with anything else I’m doing.Anyone else experiencing something similar?Thank you,Panos

windows的网页端figma两侧组件栏如何缩小？？？不知怎么操作现在变得很大，但缩小不回去，我说的不是中间画布那块，是两侧的组件栏

Hi. I am following directions to Cmd-C an entire frame, then Cmd-V to my file, but only get the text. I've tried...- Chrome, Firefox, Desktop App, and Copy and paste playground- Restarted Mac, Force quit Desktop and Browser- Turned off all Chrome extensions, Cleared cache and logins for a week- Searched Community and Documentation, followed suggestions to no avail- Followed the Troubleshooting checklistCan anyone help me with this? Thanks!

So, whenever I wanted to export a design from FIGMA to a code (HTML) it works perfectly fine. When I tried doing the same thing with the new Apple Liquid Glass feature it always exported it as if its just a guassian blur effect. Would really appreciate if anyone can help me know if this is even possible to export this effect as a code (HTML) or not.

I honestly think this is the only thing that figma is missing for me right now!

IssueWe’ve created a rather large and complex design system, which is already being used by several design teams in their layouts. Sometimes, we have to completely rebuild a component, and almost all of its properties change.QuestionThe question is whether there’s an approach to updating components without breaking designers' layouts. Is there any plugin or built-in tool that can help prevent breakage?

As the title says,… what on earth have they done with the auto layout options like alignment, layout direction etc….😤

Hi Do we have the provision to import figma make designs to your figma design file?Or any similar tools that lets you do the same?

Hi, we are trying with figma make to connect webhooks with n8n which are fully working tested on POSTMAN and there is no chance to make it work. I managed some how to work it out once and no more in test mode. it is now in producction and not answering through the webhook.Instrucctions such,  here is the webhook, method post, it will return json through webhook reposnse. represent it back on your front end nicely for the user. I have checked youtubes and it should just work like this, is there anything else I am missing?

Hi mates,I was using Figma Sites from a first date was release at Figma Beta. But I really don’t known how to prototype “Open Overlay” just like Figma Design was like. Any one known how to work-around with that.I was copy my design with prototype work-fine from Figma Design, but still can't running with Figma Sites.And when I publish, I receive this message “Interactions · Unsupported action" Really annoying that they bring many new interactions, but somehow forget little trigger but useful like “Open Overlay" 

Hi everyone,I'm having an issue with my Figma prototype. One of the white rectangles in my design — which has a plain white "glacé" effect but no opacity or gradient — suddenly appears with a gradient when I run the prototype.I've double-checked the fill settings, and it's set to solid white (#FFFFFF), with 100% opacity and no effects applied.Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be a rendering bug in prototype mode, or am I missing something?Thanks in advance!    

Why  can't buy figma pro?

I recently lost access to my Google account, and unfortunately, this account was linked to my Figma profile, which contains several important projects that I desperately need to recover.Since I can no longer log in to Figma using that account, I’m hoping there’s a way to regain access to my projects. Has anyone experienced something similar or know if Figma support can help transfer projects to a new account?

I’ve been using figma.fileKey in an internal Figma plugin to get the file’s latest contributor, and it had been working fine until today.Now I’m getting the following error:Unhandled promise rejection: Error: figma.fileKey is undefined. Ensure you’re in the plugin main thread on API v1.0.0+Just wanted to check—was there a recent update to the Figma APIs that may have affected this behavior? I’m running this from the main thread, so this change seems unexpected.Appreciate any insight you can provide!Thank you for the help

Whats going on!!!!

 Figma loads but shows a broken or pixelated canvas. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, tried webgl and every other thing possible. It’s does this on both desktop and website for chrome but on Mozilla website it working well. What can I do please? 

Hi, can you suggest an AI that can generate images of one object (a building) from different angles please?

Hello, after the latest Figma update, I can no longer see the icons in the Layer panel that indicate whether a layer is a master component or an instance, or whether a frame has auto-layout. Is there a setting to display these icons in the Layer panel?  

Halo semua,Saya sedang mengerjakan sebuah proyek desain untuk game kecil bernama "Merge Fellas". Saya membuat cukup banyak komponen aset dengan beberapa varian di Figma (misalnya: karakter dengan status idle, walk, run).Masalah yang saya hadapi adalah ketika saya mencoba menggabungkan beberapa komponen karakter ini ke dalam sebuah frame atau grup untuk membuat sebuah scene, properti variannya menjadi kacau dan tidak bisa diubah dengan mudah. Seolah-olah mereka kehilangan koneksi ke set varian utamanya.Saya sudah mencoba beberapa cara seperti grouping biasa atau framing, tapi rasanya kurang efisien dan seringkali saya harus mengatur ulang varian secara manual.Apakah ada trik, plugin, atau alur kerja (workflow) yang lebih baik untuk "menggabungkan" beberapa komponen yang memiliki varian seperti ini? Tujuannya agar tetap rapi dan mudah dikelola. 

Hi everyone 👋We’re building a white-label Design System that needs to support different clients and brand identities with minimal setup effort.🎯 The goalWe’d like to achieve a setup where updating a single base HEX color (e.g. #0056A6) automatically updates all related states of components (like hover, pressed, disabled) based on a relative transformation, such as: hover = darken(base, 10%) pressed = darken(base, 20%) disabled = alpha(base, 30%) Currently, we know that plugins like Token Studio support this kind of logic using transformation functions. But we’re wondering if anyone has found a native workaround in Figma so that we don’t have to introduce a new tool. 🧠 Context: Our DS already supports multi-brand via Variable Modes Color tokens are manually defined for each brand (which isn’t scalable) We’re looking for a way to automate color states based on one base input (instead of having to define full palettes or scales for each client) Bonus points if anyone has tips a
