It really annoys me that Figma automatically creates subfolders when you export an element that’s inside a component and has a ‘/’ naming convention. I always have to go back into the folder and delete the folders or rename everything. It would be great to have a simple checkbox toggle in the exports panel to enable/disable creating subfolders, similar to Illustrator.
Yes, PLEASE, add the option. I love Figma, but having all these folders when I just want to export a few screens is excruciating
Hey there. I use slashes / everywhere, to define hierarchy and stuff. Some have said that it creates a mess while exporting.
I can confirm. One of the developers I work with sent me this picture:
Is this enough to understand the problem? A simple checkbox on the export panel would help a lot. I’m sending the link of this post as a reply to that developer question: “Is there a better way to export things in Figma?”.
This is one of those things that it was meant to help us, but in the end you mostly always want to decide where to save the assets, without creating folders.
Such an annoying bug. Please fix.
Yes please!
