How to create a bridge between a figma widget and the figma plugin api?

Hello. I’m looking to use the Plugin API with my Widget? My widget include multiple instances of the widget, each with a dynamic number inside. From reading the docs, it’s recommended that I use the Plugin API to manage the numbers (they will update if widgets are deleted / added). However, I’m completely stuck just creating a bridge between the widget and the plugin API. Does anybody know any resources / sample to see how it looks like (just a simple console.log would do)? Or just at least how to think about creating the bridge.

Pasting frames within a section doesn't follow canvas rules

When you copy and paste a frame (a page layout eg) on the main canvas, it pops it neatly alongside the prev page so you don’t have to effing fiddle with the damn thing and it’s pretty good UX. But if you wrap frames into your godless section feature (which I have loooootttttssss of other beef with), this behaviour suddenly disappears. WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY?

Regarding the trial of code connect

I see that the Code Connect feature is currently only available in the Enterprise or Organization plans, which only support annual billing. This is quite a significant expense for my team. I need to be cautious before committing to this feature without experiencing it first. Could I request a trial opportunity before paying for it? Additionally, is there any plan to include this feature in the Professional Team package? Thank very much~

Nested Buttons reset label property when the component they are used in changes size variant

Here is my situation: Main Button component (layout and 3 sizes) → themed Button Component (Colors) → Button Group. The button group also has three sizes, the buttons placed in the Group component are set accordingly. Now when I change a button within the button group to a different color (variant of Themed Button) everything is fine UNTIL I change the size of the button group component then the label is set to default. It doesn’t matter if I set a Property on the label in the Main button component or not. All layers are named correctly (triple checked)

primitive tokens

I’ve seen a lot of examples where people have built a primitive tokens variable collection of colors. But is that the design element I’d use primitive tokens for? Could be be used for type, spacing, or anything else?

Frame without visible content issue

As mentioned in closed topic https://forum.figma.com/t/bug-autolayout-resizes-incorrectly-when-it-contains-no-visible-frames/14619, Is anybody facing the same problem? Even all contents inside “trailing-section” frame are invisible and frame resizing is set to “hug”, it still has 24 pixels of width.

Where ca I find a UI KIT that matches directly with my product

Hi good afternoon, my name is Kiara and I am trying to finish a Capstone 2 at the University of South Florida UXUI BootCamp. I am reaching out because I am having trouble finding a Subscription Dashboard Scenario in Figma Freebies. Do you have a suggestion on where I can find a UI KIT that matches directly with my product. What platform do you recommend, or how to best search for that type of UI KITS? Thank you for your time, and help.

Instances not update in the Present/preview mode

I created a standard dropdown component, with two states open and close. I changed the texts and style in a local instance. When I viewed it in preview/present mode, it is not updated, I am not sure if it is the way I made the component not proper or it is a bug.

Restrict "Instance Swap Properties"

I’m wondering if there is a way to restrict instance swap properties to only components on the same page as the master component. I’ve built a set of icons for a specific purpose which all live on my UI-Icons page. I’ve then created a master icon component that holds an instance of one of the icons and have assigned it “instance swap properties” to be able to swap the contents for any icon on the page, which is great… However, this method seems to allow any component in the entire library to be called into this master icon component, not just icons on the UI-Icons page, which I don’t want collaborators to be able to do – I want this master icon component to only be capable of swapping icons from this set. I know I could get this result by compiling all the icons into a Component Set, but I’d really rather use the instance swap method. So I’m wondering – Is there a way to restrict the swap capability to just the UI-Icons page or even only select components defined by me?

Scroll position not preserved on responsive prototypes

I’ve encountered a bug where scroll position resets on all interactions when viewing a prototype in responsive view… The fix (for now) is to just view the prototype at actual size… Once I switch and view the prototype at actual size, scroll position is preserved as expected/intended… Wondering if anyone else has encountered this or found a solution for it?

School Account Closure: Cannot Access My Figma Files

I am unable to access my Figma account that I made with my school’s email address ever since I graduated. I have a couple of assets and files in there that are important for my research. I was able to retrieve my Canva and Biorender accounts and switch the email to my current email address, so I don’t see why I can’t with Figma. Thank you!

Wrong display of Font Awesome 6 icons (text instead)

I have a display problem on the icons from Font Awesome 6: Instead of displaying the icons, the names of the codes of each one are displayed I can temporarily fix the problem using the quick actions: Select all with the same font Recompute text layout in selection But randomly the problem occurs again. What other things have I tried? Test with a partner to recompute the text to see if it fixed it for both of us at the same time to rule out that it is a local or cache problem. It is not tied to anything specific to windows or macos as it happens on both. We tried uninstalling the font and installing it again. When the characters are changed, it does not happen in the whole file, but in some sections (That section conflicts with the display all at once), which leads me to suspect that it may be a user with a font with a sub different version but I can’t verify it (since Figma does not communicate any error related to this).

Image naming broken? Whyyyyy?

I am confused… drag and dropping files with names like image-01-01.jpg, image-01-02.jpg, etc. And Figma just tries to rename them as I add e.g. image-02-01.jpg, and mixes everything so that no number is omitted or something like that. I have .eg. zo1-01.jpg, zo2-01.jpg, etc… and there are like 4 collections like that but as I put those into a file, the naming gets distorted. What is this idiocy? Has anyone seen this behavior?

Dev mode focus view

Hi, I came accros this Figma video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCJsRuH7v9w and it shows the DevMode focus view, is it something yet to come or is it available ? We’re running a pro plan with 2 full design seats, so I expected to find it, but I only see the old “Ready for dev” Am I missing something ? Thanks

Figma JPEG export quality vs. PS

I’m running into some trouble and wondering if it’s fixable. I’ve spent a lot of time comparing JPEG exports from Figma vs. other design software. I’m seeing a compression happening that’s very noticeable in JPEGs with no compression. Exporting a frame as JPEG with Figma default options @1 results in a lower quality. I attach 2 screenshots. One from Figma JPEG, no compression, and another one from Photoshop, no compression. Figma export JPEG no compression dimensions 1080 x 1350: The Figma JPEG contains more data, and is a heavier file. But it still results in lower quality render that’s noticeable in the highlights and sharpness. This is particularly bad when uploading to any social media / ad platforms where the point of focus of the creative is a photograph.
