I find the thumbnail is slow to update and often doesn’t update for days (at all?). A work around has been to choose “Restore default thumbnail” and then “Set as thumbnail” on the desired frame. The thumbnail has become an important feature to me and I use it to convey information to my team. The inconsistent thumbnail updates are a little problematic.
Suggested solution: an option in the right-click menu for the file to “Refresh thumbnail”.
I was using Figma on Windows and noticed that thumbnails for my projects weren’t refreshing instantly within the software, only after navigating away and returning via the browser. This highlights a need for a dedicated ‘Save Project’ feature, similar to the save functionality in Word and other offline applications. Such a feature would allow changes to be directly saved to the existing project file on the PC, avoiding the inefficiency of creating new files for each modification. This would not only save time but also reduce clutter by preventing the accumulation of multiple file versions, streamlining the workflow and conserving screen space.
Hi @Andre_Machado Thanks for sharing your thought! I found other community members asking for something similar here.
I’ve merged your topic with this existing feature request from our community to have all the thoughts in one place!
Feel free to post additional comment and vote.
Thank you!
thanks Bruno!
Would be great to have for our Team as well. We use the File Cover to show Team, Platform, File Type etc.
Same problem here! This is the third company I’ve worked with that uses thumbnails to show status of files, and it is such a massive pain point at every place. It’s really, really frustrating.
