Hey, It would be great to have a property that indicates if a layer is hidden, meaning that the layer is not reachable and the user can’t visually see it. Then, when traverse takes place (using the API find methods) it can also be used to only traverse layers that are visually visible. Today, plugin developers need to detect it with their own algorithm based on z-index and traversing the whole tree. This traverse also affects the performance of their plugin.

Please create a tab scrolling, I always have a lot of tabs open and I need each one for different projects, but when I have to work from a small laptop monitor I can’t access the tabs that are open beyond the resolution of my screen. Please help :((((

Hi Team 👋 We have several issues with our prototypes on Figma. For example, hovers on buttons that doesn’t works correctly, text gap inside component etc… We have to close the prototype preview and launch it again to solve this. It seems come from the preview cache. Do you think it could be improved? Thanks!

Trying out the variables beta, but the number variables are limited to 2 d.p. I have 3 d.p. rem values that I’m trying to enter. Might not make a huge difference, but wanted to share the case.

Hi there! Recently me and my team where wondering why we could not see the projects each of us had created without having to manually invite the others. We’re all part of the same team and we’re all editors in the files. We can always search for the projects but having them on the left panel under Teams is pretty useful. Would be great if, by default, all projects in the list were visible to team editors without having to manually send invitations. Thank you

Ability to create a range slider interaction where in prototype user can drag and set the slider to any possible value with variable

How is this ordered? is it sorted by created date? because if so, that sucks. If you wanna reorder then you gotta delete everything and re-create it in the proper order. lol. Please let us drag to rearrange or sort by some rational parameter such as alphabetical.

Currently I use Ctrl + \ in windows to show/ hide UI in Figma. It would be practical if it was possible to show/ hide just rules in a page || all pages.

Hi Guys! so I do some game activities for our Company and I’m using the Figjam Vote feature to keep track of which team has gained the most points by stamping their tables. Since I can’t see the live updates I can’t know who is in the lead and I have to end the vote but I can’t until they are done the game. So most of the time the screen is just blank. I also don’t have the option to resume voting so if I ended the Voting session and say I we add a couple of new ideas then we can’t resume and have the poll continue counting and we now need to create a separate vote session. It will be nice if the Vote settings are flexible if I want to turn ON or OFF the visibility on a session. We also do use it for work when we brainstorm ideas we want to monitor which idea has the most votes to move it up to a different section. Anyhow having Vote Settings is very useful for us when planning our activities.

My plugin needs to identify all libraries enabled for the current file. Currently, there is no Plugin API endpoint that provides this information. I The Figma REST API can be used to identify libraries of the styles used in the file. However, this method has a couple of limitations: It is not possible to identify enabled libraries if none of their styles are currently in use in the file. Even if the API client has identified enabled libraries using the Figma REST API, they will not be able to detect changes to their enabled state. In other words, if the state of a library is changed to “disabled” in Figma’s UI, the API client will not be notified of this change. A new Plugin API endpoint that lets clients know the metadata (file key, name, etc) of the libraries currently enabled for a given file would be very useful to expand Figma features to be more powerful. Thank you.

I feel it is missing a visual and digital notification, when we set a section DEV READY. The digital, could be an e-mail, to the participants. And the visual could be a green color on the “icon”, instead of blue, so we can identify it faster.

Hello, I’m creating an internal Figma Plugin and I noticed that your fetch function is custom one and that not all HTTP headers are exposed by it. In fact, only content-length and content-type seems to be available. My plugin would need to read additional information from the header since I’m using binary data (image) in the response and I don’t want to implement multipart form parsing just to add these small data (HTTP header would be very practical for it). Is there any solution? For now I’m using a workaround to pass that data in content-type but as you can imagine, that’s not ideal 🙂 Thank you for any help. Jiri

Hi. I used to use MacOS native keyboard shortcuts to create a shortcut for the function “Go to Main Component”. Native MacOS shortcuts use app upper context menus (where apple icon). You can go to Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → App Shortcuts and set any key for an any menu line. Now, there is no “Go to Main Component” in “Object → Main Components” and my shortcut isn’t working. It’s so painful to use the mouse every time to click a special icon. I use the keyboard shortcut “Go to Main Component” many times during the day. Also, there is a same story with “Clip Content”. There isn’t same menu line in Object menu and I can’t create a keyboard shortcut. It’s very frequent function. Please, fix it.

Hello. Recently I worked with plugin that can work only in “export” page. It was easy to add listener on page change, but rename page doesn’t trigger any event. Because of it user after rename should re-open plugin or change page and get back to export. Not really cool UX… I think it will be better to trigger currentpagechange.

Hey there! I’d love to be able to quickly copy & paste styles for arrows and shapes as I work in Figjam. In Figma, I’m able to hit option+cmd+c to copy all of the style attributes of one object and “paste” to apply them automatically to another object. This would save me a lot of time in that I wouldn’t have to manually repeat applying styles like dashed lines or colors as I work out flow charts. That’s all. Thanks!

I wonder if anyone at Figma has thought about putting an alert or notification into the Figma UI when files are opened/edited in teams. I’m new to Figma and I didn’t realize that there was a charge for using FigJam/Teams there was no notification of this until I got an email with a monthly charge of $5. Maybe the editor/account owner should get a notification with a yes or no question. Something the Figma Team should consider.

Would be cool that Figjam have a “hands raised” function, similarly on the Microsoft Teams call, when having to say something in a team workshop

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.

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

Type of transition > loading Generic loader in between transitioning from one screen to another.

Can we please get the option to disable commenting in presentation mode? This could be an “advanced” feature or whatever but it would be great to have please!

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.

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).

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?

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.
