Solved

Occasionally I’ll see this cloud icon at top right, warning me that my file isn’t saving. What’s interesting is that I always have several files open, and while sometimes more than one file will show this icon it’s never every file. It’s not the whole app, it’s just file to file. Some files are saving, some aren’t, and I can’t figure out what to do about it. Obviously it’s disconcerting to work on something that I know isn’t saving - what can I do about it? -I’m marking this as solved because people need to see Mike’s post, but “solved” is very much in quotes because the fix is a hack - it’s a workaround for a problem Figma hasn’t fixed yet.

So, basically I am making an OTT app design, where the elements are supposed to move horizontally, but after putting them in auto layout, setting their frame to same as that of og frame, and doing everything, im getting this weird blank spaces on both sides, tried padding aswell.

Please tell what will happen to the pages, if, having a Professional plan subscription, I create for example 30 pages inside one file. And will have only one file inside my only one project in the team. By canceling the subscription, will I be able to edit all 30 pages or not?Thanks to everyone who knows the answer and could share the info!

After the last update of the desktop version of movies for Windows, I cannot log in to the account in the application. When I launch the application, this window is displayed:   After clicking on the "Login with browser" button, this window appears:And nothing else happens. In other words, the authorization window does not open in the browser. I have already tried logging into the company in the browser and opening the project in the application from there, but it doesn't work and the application opens a window for me where it asks me to log in through the browser. How can this problem be solved?Browser: opera. Latest browser version

Hello everyone, I hope someone from Community Support can help me. Someone from Community Support has already helped me by sending me the expiration date of my education plan: 2025-02-08. Just checking if this means the 8th of February, 2025? I have a question regarding my education plan. Before it expires, I'd like to switch to a paid professional plan to retain all my projects and files. What's the best way to do this? Is it possible to convert my education plan into a paid professional plan? If so, can I change the associated school email (which I no longer have access to) to a personal one? Or would it be better to create a new account and assign my projects to that account? Thanks in advance for the help :)

Hello. Do anyone know if I can, through the Figma Plugin API, know if a font is provided by google, a custom font or if it’s a system standard font? 

I am following the Figma beginners tutorial and when I select a group within my design, and attempt to convert it to a frame, some of the material from the group does not seem to render into the frame.  In particular, it seems to cut off some of the material from the borders.I’m following the steps outlined in the tutorial - create a group, select the group, use the drop down menu on the right to change “group” to “frame”. 

I have a big file (130K layers) and recently I add the new variables for text styles and boy the file running very slow, I can’t edit nothing, not mentioning play with the prototype. It has nothing to do with my PC or memory usage (14%). I had to remove the variables for text styles to make the file run faster and it works. This new feature is great but until this performance issue will not be resolved I will not add variables for text styles to my projects.

Hello Team,I’m trying to retrieve an image from Figma files using the Figma REST API endpoint. I’m currently using the GET Image API - https://www.figma.com/developers/api#get-images-endpoint to obtain the image URL.With this API, I’m successfully able to retrieve an image URL that remains valid for 30 days.I have a couple of questions regarding this: The image URL obtained through this API is public, and I can access the image without requiring any authentication or tokens. Is there a way to enforce authentication for accessing the image? The image URL is valid for 30 days. Is it possible to modify the expiration timestamp? Also, is there any usage limit on using REST API?  Looking forward to your insights.Thank you!

We currently struggle with Icon sizes in figma. All our icons measure 32x32 px. Our Devs now noticed that there are different sizes displayed in the Dev Panel. For Layout the measurements are correct: 32x32px. But in the SVG section it says: 32x33px. This is the case for several Icons, some are single components, some are part of a component set.Single Component​​​​​​Component within set.Does anyone have a similar problem? How do I solve this?

Hi,I've been having a nightmare today trying to access different pages in the Figma Mac app. Some pages load fine, but others simply won't open.

Hello,I am currently developing a Figma plugin to extract local variables.

Hello! Today I accidentally deleted some elements from my space, but Figma has only versions which were created more than 30 days ago. I don’t understand why figma didn't do the backup version of my space before I did my delete, and now I can’t restore deleted elements from cmd+z and can’t restore my previous version because of the free account.Maybe I can restore my previous version from the support ticket?
