Export treating Frames as Folders

A Figma Library might consist of a “Page” with several “Frames” that each contain several “Components”. Problem: Exporting all of the components in this Library requires exporting each frame separately and manually organizing them into folders afterward. Solution: It would be great if Figma had a “Treat Frames as Folders” export option that so every frame would be exported as a folder and the contents within each frame would be exported as files. This could all be done with a single click instead of needing a separate export operation for each frame on the page. (This is effectively happening in the “Assets” panel already, it’s just not available when exporting.) Taking this a step further, an “Include nested frames” option could allow provide the ability to create hierarchy of folders to be created on export based on frames within frames.

Variable Import/Export

I love the new variables feature but have hit a snag I’d love to see resolved. As I’m the only UX practitioner at my company, we only have the professional plan which means we can’t use branching. Instead, we have developed a system where we initial design in a “WIP” file, which is reviewed and iterated on until approved; at this point, we copy things over to a “Live” file. While working through that with some variables now in use, I discovered that there’s no way to copy variables between files. I can’t just use variables stored in a library because I need to get the variables from our WIP Library project into the Live Library product and, by their very nature, they can’t refer to the same library of variables (changes made to a variable value for the WIP library shouldn’t be automatically updated in the LIVE library). It would be helpful if one could either export and import variables by collection or individually. Or even if one could select one or more variables to copy and then pa

Enhancement to asset export and management

problem 1: in our current hand off design to dev workflow, we run into challenges of files with long list of images and icons but the developer needs to click on every single icon/image to download it all. proposed solution: would be nice to have a one click button to download everything that’s in the export panel as a folder or compressed file for developers problem 2: another problem is that, when a image is used, but not manually marked as exportable, it will not show up in the assets list for developers to download, which causes project time loss and unnecessary hyper-care post design hand off. proposed solution: automatically consider all icons and images as exportable assets, if designer want to remove something, they can do the subtraction. vs. now they have to mark from zero item to all. if they want to change export settings, there is default image to 1x and 2x png, and default icons to svg. if designers want to change the setting later, they can

Creating new line via `shift+enter` adds a `L-SEP` symbol

When a new line in a text component is created via shift+enter a L-SEP character is added to the end of the line that later on is visible in a web page (Chrome - Windows) when you have copied&pasted the content from Figma.

Add ability to trigger component variant change from outside component

A use case for this: I have a fullscreen modal component with the props: isVisible: true | false. I’d love to be able to click a button (from outside the component) in the parent frame and have it trigger the modal to be visible: true. Additionally, I’d love for it to use any animations I’ve predefined in that component for changing from variant x -> variant y for the transition (I understand this is complicated if there are multiple triggers set up internally, but it could default to using the first or something).

Figma mirror height fit

When previewing in the mirror the app it does not allow changing width fit to hight fit. If we are designing anything in landscape view it becomes hard to preview design. Is there a way to make the preview hight fit?

Inspect a version history file

I want to share a certain point from the version history with developers so they have a finished version they can inspect while I work on a new version. However, while I can find where I can copy and share the link of a restore point in the version history, when others view them, they cannot switch to “inspect” to see the version history.

New paste features — simple but big improvements

I present to you some simple yet very effective and intuitive improvements to the new paste functionality. Let me know what you think! Community feedback Let’s start with some feedback the community has about the new pasting features. (Note that Ctrl = Cmd on macOS in all the following shortcuts.) On the surface these are perfect additions! But when used in the real work setting, they seem to have some issues. The most problematic thing is probably that “Paste over selection” now has a very awkward key combo: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V. Four keys! Judging by the amount of feedback on this issue, a lot of people have been using it for their daily workflow. Did you know there was a Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V shortcut in Figma already? It allowed you to stack things vertically, it’s called “Distribute vertical spacing”. Nobody used it, but having two shortcuts doing the same thing is a bad idea. Now the stacking one doesn’t work. Ya’ll probably use Macs so you overlooked this. The majority of Figma use

Improve font search and add filter

Figma’s almost entirely replaced my set of tools and it’s a lifesaver! Still a few features I miss out from Photoshop which I think can be implemented to Figma. Font Filter: So, I used to use illustrator for this and obviously that’s what it’s meant for. But now that I’ve switched to Figma almost entirely, I see myself going back to Illustrator for just this feature. So when I’m selecting fonts, there are no previews. There is also no way to filter them by sans serif, serif, etc. I’d love to see something along these lines implemented!

Preserve fill override when a component updates

I use components from a design system library. I override many things in the components. When a component updates, my overrides are preserved - except fill. That is a problem, especially when the fill is an image. Every time the component updates, the image is gone (reset to the default image). It is a real pain and I wish this was changed soon.

Any way to customize right side bar and add plugin controls there?

I have created a plugin for Figma for our styling needs but given that our designers work with large files, it is not very convenient for them when the plugin takes up precious screen space as they try to navigate their design. I was wondering if it is possible to move the functionality of your plugin to the right sidebar as one of the options along with Design, Prototype, and Code. That way, designers can access the functionality of the plugin from the right-hand bar without having to open the plugin which takes up screen space. See the screenshot for reference.

Prototype Device size picker

When having multiple different frame ratios in the same page, it is sometimes difficult to be changing the screen size in the prototype panel to test the designs in the preview while working. Would be helpful if either : You could manually save a few screen ratios in the prototype panel to quickly switch; If you automatically get some suggestions for screen ratios according to the frames you have on the page. See here my very quick very sloppy illustrations of what I have in mind → Would save sooooo much time ! Curious whether other designers would benefit from it?

Figma Plugin with Microphone Access

I’m building a figma plugin where I’m giving the user a button to record their audio. I’m using the Web Audio API with the following code snippet: **var** audioContext = **new** **AudioContext**(); navigator.mediaDevices.**getUserMedia**({ audio: true }) .**then**(**function**(stream) { **var** source = audioContext.**createMediaStreamSource**(stream); }) .**catch**(**function**(err) { console.**log**('Error: ' + err); }); ’m able to console.log(navigator), but there’s no mediaDevices field showing up. I think the issue is that the plugin window is an iframe and in order to get mic access from an iframe, I have to add an attribute to the iframe tag (javascript - Cam access for embedded iframe - Stack Overflow 1). However, I don’t see how I can get access to the tag. Would anyone be able to answer this? Thanks!

LAUNCHED: Search for files when you start a new tab on desktop

I’m so used to the browser pattern when when you want to look up something, you open up a new tab to search for it. I keep finding myself doing that with figma where I open a new tab to open up an existing file. It makes me want to search file titles and be able to open it from the new tab rather than clicking back to the home tab and sifting through my files.

Feature request: Ability to search for specific branches

I think the branching feature is very interesting and I can see it being of great use to my team as we are moving from Adobe XD to Figma. However, I would love to see a search functionality when browsing the branches in See all branches. I can see a potential issue in the future when looking for a specific branch made months ago. My idea is to use a branch for each JIRA ticket and name it accordingly. A search functionality would greatly help with the trackability of each design change.

Splitting text area into columns

How about being able to split a text area into a certain amount of columns? Adobe InDesign is doing something like that for example, and it could definitely help organising a huge amount of text on a design!

Filter fonts by classification

This is the singular reason why choosing fonts is so tedious in Figma. I’m thankful for the update to finally be able to see the font before applying it to my text (which is the literal bare minimum), but being able to see what a font looks like doesn’t make choosing a font any easier if you know what kind of font you need, but you still have to scroll through hundreds of alphabetically organised fonts of varying classifications that don’t apply to you, when a simple filter would make the decision 10 times quicker. It makes the experience of designing start to finish in Figma frustratingly difficult.

Library analytics in-context with components

Problem: I’m updating components in my team’s Design System Library and I’d like to know how many instances/files/projects/teams these changes will impact. Context: I am on the Org plan. I have several components and variants. In the case of Top Bars (one family of components), many of the variants are simply not in use, and may be removed or consolidated with zero impact. Others are used hundreds of times across many files and teams. Currently, I have to go into the library analytics tool to cross-reference. I’d love to see some of this data as metadata (a simple instance count would be ⭐ ) on components in the main component page. Bonus points if I can get links back to individual files, or even just to deep link into the analytics modal. For the community: Are there any plugins or workarounds you know of to make this easier? How many of you are struggling with making updates to heavily-used design libraries?

Currently if a layer is clipped by a parent frame that layer only exports the visible content. My proposal is to include an option to export the entire contents of a layer (including clipped/non-visible areas). E.g. ☑️ Export only visible content - or something similar.
