Make searching for all installed plugins in Quick Actions possible again

Ressurection of Make searching for all installed plugins in Quick Actions possible again It’s completly unproductive to limit Quick Actions… even stupid Even If I use keyboard maestro, I loose my shortcuts because of the limitation that remove the saved plugins You need to correct this… it’s so obvious

Substract part of a shape that overlaps another shape

Hi, I’d like to remove the part of the blue shape that overlaps the other vector. What is the best way to do this? Thanks! In Illustrator it’d be the divide tool but none of the boolean tools in Figma really help here.

Edits to unpublished components not appearing in instances across files

Context: In my design system I created an input field component that has “input title”, “input subtitle” and “input box” as atoms Atoms exist as unpublished components, nested in the larger component/molecule, “input field” Library has been published and added to all working files Action: I’ve copied an atom, “input title” and used it in a different working file Problem: When I make edits to the original atom (change the text style) the change is reflected in the components in the design system that use this atom but not in the copied atom itself Need to understand why and how to fix this Thanks!

Frames inside Frames inside Frames and Grid Snapping

I have a Figma question: PLEASE HELP!!! I have my main frame lets say a desktop and I have added a grid to it. Then I create a frame inside the fame to make a card which snaps perfectly fine to my desktop grid. But when I create a frame inside the card frame, it does not snap to the original grid created in the desktop frame. This is a bit frustrating, specially when you are trying to arrange things to the original grid. Any tips or suggestions. Hopefully I explained it clear enough.

Getting error message for simple interaction

I’m VERY new to Figma so excuse me if this is a simple fix. I saw another discussion regarding this error message “This interaction will not be triggered as interactions on instances are triggered before inherited internal interactions” but it seems to just be a bug that was already solved - but I am still experiencing it. I’m just trying to make a button turn a different color when you press on it, and it works when I just have the button and don’t navigate it to another frame. When I want the button variable to navigate to a different screen, I get that error message. I watched this Youtube video to set up my buttons if you want to see how I set up the button: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCbpcfEmjxM&ab_channel=DesignXstream Please let me know what I’m doing wrong!

Stackable Toast Notifications

Hi there! I’m new to Figma and need some help creating stackable toast notifications. Figma – 19 Jan 24 This is what I have so far but I would like to show multiple notifications being triggered if this is technically possible? For example, if I were to click ‘Save’ over and over, multiple notifications would appear stacked on top of each other and would then disappear separately.

4 square mosaic responsive wrap

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to find out why I can’t make a 4 square mosaic responsiv wrap: I have an auto-layout wrap with four squares in it; i’d like to make it responsive so when I hover on one of the squares it becomes bigger and the other responsively become smaller (therefore the square next to the hoovered one shrink only in width while the other two, on the other line, shrink only in height - see image for a better explanation, where i’ve done it manually) I’ve set the outer square, the wrap as fixed, and the inside ones as fill (both height and width), I’ve also set min and max widht/height in order to control the shrinking/expansion. BUT when I try to enlarge one of the inside squares the one next to it instead of filling the space goes out of the outer fixed square. Can you please help me with it? thank you so much 🙂

How to effect an element change on all slides

Good day! I want to adjust the size of a block (in which text appears), but want the size change to be effected on all slides in the library (template slides) that have that block. I have watched various videos, but I have not found a way to do that yet. There is a semi-transparent white block over a photo (on which text will appear) … but I can’t change the size of that white block. When I hover over the edges of the block, there is no option (arrows) to make it larger. I hope you can help 🙂

The goal of that prototype is to test the product idea, not actually the design. However, what resolution should I use, specifically for mobile devices? Thanks in advance!

Can I still use the Figma app on iPhone SE (1st generation)?

Hello everyone ! I come to you today because I encountered a rather disturbing issue last night. I’ve been making for the past few years my mockups on an iPhone SE screen to fit the minimal size (320x568px) and I use the Figma app to check my mockups on a real iPhone SE (1st generation). Everything was good until the Figma app asked me to update the app and when I went to the app store I saw the message “requires iOS 16.0 or more”. But the thing is that my iPhone is stuck to iOS 15.8 and I can’t get this update version… Has anyone encountered the same issue ? Is there any solution to keep using the Figma app on my iPhone SE or should I say it farewell and move on to a more advanced device (which means all my mockups won’t fit the same) ? Thank you for your help 🙂

Storing metadata associated to each layer

Hi ! is there a way, in debug mode (in my dev environment) to write a file to the hard drive. (It’s only a debugging functionnality, i don’t need to publish this as a functionality and only need it in my dev environment) I’m aware of clientStorage but what i need is to have a full control on a set of file that i create. The only solution i can think of now is a local server on my machine (provided i find a way to reach it from the plugin)

How to keep text from getting cut off at the bottom of a page when an accordion is open

Hello! I’m designing a webpage in Figma that includes multiple accordions. Each piece when expanded is a different size depending on how much text is in it. I’m having trouble with the text getting cut off at the bottom of the page when some of the larger pieces of the accordion are open. How do I make it so that everything below the accordion and the length of the page is responsive to the size of the accordions? I’ve already tried to auto layout the entire page and have Clip Content turned off. You can see this happen if you toggle the two accordions here, the first under Examples and Case Studies and the other with the large bold questions at the bottom.Figma – 11 May 22 Would really appreciate the help as someone new to Figma! Thanks, Carmen

Prototype creates tappable areas to go back/forward when running on mobile

When using the prototype on mobile, Figma adds tappable areas that go back (half left side of the screen) and forward (half right side). That means that any accidental tap on the screen makes the user go back/forward. This only occurs on mobile, Android and iOS (Chrome, Safari and Figma App). The prototype works fine on desktop (from the Figma app and any browser). Any tip to fix this?

Prototype accordeon cards which change the lenght of the main frame

Hi everyone, I would like that the lenght of the wireframe change according if the accordeon cards are opened or not. So the elements below (nav bar, footer) should be displaced when all the cards are opened and the main frame (the wireframe) needs to expand by itself. I have searched different way to do it but no success 🥲

Adding text layer to frame with auto layout does no longer work

Hey guys! Sorry if this has already been posted in here but I could not find any topics related to the issue I am facing these past few days. Whenever I try to add a text layer in any frame with auto layout, it is added to the root of my page. It used to automatically add the text layer to the selected frame while applying the relevent constraints from the auto layout configuration. It’s also working just fine without the auto layout option. I found a workaround by setting a size to my text layer when creating it, though this is super annoying as I then have to set the size to hug the text manually. Here’s a quick video that shows this issue: Am I the only one facing this or am I missing something? Thanks!

404 error despite being the file owner

Recently another person joined our and I (the admin) gave them edit access to all files. Last week I received an “invitation to edit” email from sent by the new team member to a file that I, as the account admin, already had access to, which confused me. I received another notification inside Figma itself showing that the new team member had changed me to be the owner of the file (I’m not sure what my permission was before if not owner, since I’m the one who created all the files currently in our Figma). Ever since then I’ve been getting a 404 error whenever I use the “view main component in library” option on any components that are in the file the team member changed my access to. I’ve checked everything I can find/think of around file and team permissions in Figma, and according to all of it I should have unrestricted access to this file. As the file in question is for our design system it’s important that I be able to access it to make component adjustments on the fly. How can this
