I'm excited for Bulk Create in Figma Buzz. It’s a lot more intuitive for our marketers to use, but at its current stage it’s actually more time consuming than our existing workflow, mainly because it doesn’t have the ability to bulk rename frames or the exported filenames. That means we still end up having to manually rename "Frame1.png" all the way to "Frame175.png".

Here’s our use case: we need to create OpenGraph images for a website with over a hundred pages. We have two design templates: one with page title only, one with page title and a subhead.

Currently, the marketing & web dev team maintain a spreadsheet of all the pages currently exist.

We have the 2 designs set up as components and use a plugin called Scribe - Dynamic data in seconds to pull in the CSV and use a column we choose for naming the frames / files.

I can see Bulk Create doing this as well, and even adding some common renaming & conditional naming options (i.e. case options, removing + replacing + appending characters, numbering).

This is exactly my first thought when I tested it. In our user case, we need to create the same variant of an image in 30+ languages. Having the option to select which input of our texts CSV we want to use would be really helpful. Otherwise we need to check which language and rename it so it is really time-consuming.

For example, we have a column “id” with all the language codes: en_GB, es_ES, de_DE… etc.

If we could select that and as Ether says, add a text, like “Instagram_es_ES” would be amazing.

Thank you.
