Hi, is there a proper or good way to save exported content on the computer? I have seen there is the exportAsync function, but that only packages the content into a variable without starting a download. I found one method in the export zip plugin, but it feels unnecessarily complex and a bit hacky as well by starting a download via a html element. Also, the createObjectURL() seem to make trouble, when I tried it on a quick run. That’s the method used by the export zip plugin: zip.generateAsync({ type: 'blob' }) .then((content: Blob) => { const blobURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(content); const link = document.createElement('a'); link.className = 'button button--primary'; link.href = blobURL; link.download = "export.zip" link.click() link.setAttribute('download', name + '.zip'); resolve(); }); Thank you all for helping. 🙂

Hi all, I want to develop an app that takes a Figma design file as input, then convert all UI component to HTML code. To do that, I need to be able to parse the Figma first. Is there any API or SDK to do that? Thanks!

When I apply RTL text direction, the overflow content goes beyond the frame.

Hi community. I want to log in with a mail that no longer exists. Had anyone experienced the same issue? Can Figma plis redirect the link to a different mail?

Hi, I’m having a few issues on Figma slide: When I incorporate a prototype on a slide I can’t move it around at all unless I use the X/Y position inputs in design mode I have a scroll issue on the embed, even if the prototype frame I’m importing has no-scroll property set in prototype settings. (probably causing the issue of not being able to move it around. The embed is always on top of all content, no matter what layer order it is in ** Additionally, the embed cannot be clipped when placed inside a frame. Here’s a screen record: Am I doing anything wrong??

After doing a lot of design work in Figma, I’ve noticed that some parts are not visible, almost as if they’re bugging out. When I click on ‘Prototype,’ I can see the connections I made, but it still seems to be glitching.

Figma connectors are no longer snapping to any objects, i;ve been using them all day and it’s been working fine and suddenly just stopped snapping to any object

I have a small 5 UI design that worked great on iPad. I went away for a 4 day trip and now it will not load on ipad. I made no changes in that time except to invite my team, and there was one comment and response. Prototype works fine on macbook browser and app. Prototype will load on iPad app and browser for less than 1 second (i can see the UI) and then it goes blank with no options for me to take except to exit. I have delete ALL non essential frames and content (which was not ideal). the design is very small so “reducing size” is not an option (btw, I am working on an ipad PRO M4 - so more powerful than most computers). this IPAD is the product demo platform so it not working, it a big problem. Any aid would be great.

Hi! I’m using Figma’s Slide Deck feature but can’t seem to find a way to create or apply grids like in regular frames. Is there any workaround to add guides or grids to help with alignment in slides? Thanks! (●’◡’●)

Hey everyone, I’m planning to move some projects from one workspace to another in Figma and have a few questions about what changes or remains intact during this transition: Will shared links to files remain accessible, or will they change after the move? Will libraries stay connected to the files in the new workspace, or do I need to relink them? Will the current access settings for people (to files, folders, and teams) be retained, or will I need to reassign permissions? Thanks in advance for any insights!

I am trying to use the activity log API and I authenticated myself with OATH with the proper scope, but I am getting this error on the API response. “This endpoint is not enabled for the org.” I looked through all of the org settings and haven’t seen where this can be enabled or disabled. Any idea?

Hello everyone, I added the remove background plugin on one of my team projects and I tried to use it multiple times but it did not work. Either it did nothing, either it impacted my images without even removing the background. Attached are two screenshots of how it looked like before and after using the plugin. Do you have any idea of how I can make it work please ? Thanks ! Zacharie

Any ideas why certain components are not publishing. Seems to be happening to several components and I cant spot a pattern. Seems temperamental, but possible I’m missing something. In the video, you’ll see me publish a component only to find it’s still listed as updated afterwards. Help much appreciated.

I’m having trouble seeing the merged versions on the compare changes screen in dev mode. When I merge something into the main branch, and I want to compare them in dev mode, so that the developer can see what has changed, I can’t display them. Is this a problem or am I doing something wrong?

Hi everyone, This is for anyone who wants a custom macro with Logitech G Hub but your profile switch doesn’t work for some reason. Find the location of your Figma.exe file by searching “Figma” in your start bar. Right click and then click open file location This will lead to a folder with Figma file and right click again and click “Properties” Go under Shortcut and find the Target property. Copy and paste this text but remove the last Figma.exe Ex. Mine was C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Figma\app-124.5.5\Figma.exe so I deleted Figma.exe Launch Logitech G Hub and click MANAGE PROFILES Click ADD GAMES OR APPLICATION and paste the file path from Step 3. Click on the Figma.exe lo When I tried this few months back, Logitech G Hub couldn’t recognize Figma even though I added the .exe file. It turns out, the file under \AppData\Local\Figma\Figma.exe doesn’t work. You have to add the Figma.exe inside a folder called app-124.X.X. Now Logitech G Hub will properly recognize

Hello everyone, Our company is facing a challenge regarding management of permissions when all the editors on a file are absent. I am wondering if there is a way for organization admins to access files in such cases and manage permissions on them. Example: A file has an owner, another editor and a couple of viewers. Both editors are absent, but we urgently need to keep working on that file. Is there a way for the organization admins to give edit rights to other people? thanks in advance!

Anyone know if it’s possible to retrieve links to all interactive mockups for a given team? I’ve been able to retrieve links for the design files themselves, but not the interactive shareable links. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, TOPIC Which approach would you choose? Details below. CONTEXT The context here relates to management of a file that contains multiple user journeys for multiple user types and role. A common user journey displays the different states of a form in a modal as the user completes the form. Given this journey is completed on one screen, but it contains one frame per step of the user journey as the user fills in the fields which cause the next field to become enabled, the exact same background is displayed under the modal per frame. This is a common pattern across our journeys. In addition, this same file contains: This same user journey for different user types, each with multiple roles. Some roles within and across user types see some fields disabled or some content hidden depending on the role. Different user journeys that also start from the same page. SOLUTIONS Consequently, we can either: Copy/paste the background screen once per frame per journey, or Create the background s
