Separate aspect ratio of cover thumbnail in main project view

I have a library of cover thumbnails that I use in projects. It looks great when the files are all grouped and shown in the single project view but from the main screen, thumbnails are cut off on the sides and shown in a cropped aspect ratio. I’ve followed the guides from the Figma Docs about safe zone and sizing but it’s kind of disappointing that there is a view that doesn’t play by those rules.

Has anyone found a solution to show the full cover thumbnail in a project container?

Or the next Figma update could display thumbnails with one consistent ratio everywhere, no exceptions!

Using Figma since 2018.

Hope this gets more visibility and maybe we’re getting lucky with the upcoming Config!

Coming back to see that the issue is still there, with the new Project view, all our Thumbnails are now somehow cropped 🤣… The no padding fix is not working anymore.

Using Figma since 2018.

Hello

This inconsistency also surprised me. I created a file with cover thumbnails guides and templates for multiple size (1920x1080, 1600x960 and 1280x720).

I use 1600x900 for stand-alone cover. The other two when I use the first slide of my presentations as the cover.

I was going to share it with you. But it seems that Figma fixed the problem since. Can you confirm ?
