If you have a component with many different variants, it would be good to have a warning before someone accidentally changes the content within the component rather than in the variants. This is inspired by the warning that happened when detaching an instance when you had FigPals.
I’d like to be able to choose a thumbnail (either a frame from the video, or upload a thumbnail) for an object that has Video fill. Currently Figma uses the first frame of the video as the thumbnail, and if that video starts all black, then the thumbnail is just black. It will show fine in prototype view or mirror once the video starts playing, but when you are editing it would be helpful to see a frame of the actual video so you can adjust properties of elements (e.g. colors, opacities, gradients) and see what they’ll look like composited with video.
Basic functionaly is getting flustratinly hard to get in resent software updates.
My little Figpal Disappeared. Tried to log out and log back in but still haven’t found it.
Hello I made a button with an animation on the icon that looks like this: I created variables to allow me to change the icon from the instance. My original button works as I want. But the copy with the icon change doesn't “play” the back animation. Is there a way to make this work so I can change the icon quickly without having to duplicate all the animations? First, I created my two icons Then I created a static state that will be in my default button. And 2 states for the animation with a delay. And finally the default button and its hover version, with a rollhover and a “reset component style” state to return to the default state before the animation. Figma file is here, Figma file Thanks for the help.
I noticed recently when I try to copy an image from the Fill panel and paste it on a different shape/instance it no longer works. I use this workflow daily and while there are workarounds it’s driving me crazy how much it slows me down doing my job.
I can’t seem to find a way to paste designs without copying over the annotations on elements. I don’t always want to duplicate the annotations, just the design. I think just adding a menu item or keyboard shortcut to “Paste without annotations” would make sense.
I need a way to change the order in which icons appear in the properties menu of the component instance. I use components for icons, and it would be nice if the icon names were sorted alphabetically, but instead they appear to be sorted by the order in which they were created. When there is a long list of icons, it makes it harder to find the icon you want. This is obviously not necessary for most components because they rarely have this number of variants, but for things like icons… it would be a huge help.
I often have to use colors outside of Figma. At the moment, if those colors are variables, I have to detach it to select and copy the hex code and re-apply the variable. I think it would be a nice feature to be able to copy the color of that element without having to detach and re-attach the variable.
When I want to create a new file in my project the dropdown keeps flickering. I can’t create a new file
I spend a lot of time clicking "search all libraries" when there are zero results to a component search, such as when swapping an instance. Can we default to searching all libraries if there are zero results, and just note that there are zero results in the highlighted library (I’m not even sure which library is being searched or why that one is being searched instead of the others, by the way, so that’s a UX issue).
Hi everyone,I’d like to suggest improvements to how Prototype View works when using a second monitor in Figma. Currently, when you press Restart in the Prototype View, it often starts from a completely different frame instead of restarting the one you were viewing. There’s no easy way to return to your original frame.In addition, when trying to manually select a frame in the Prototype View sidebar, the frame you were working with is often missing, and random other frames are shown instead, without any clear logic.It’s also not possible to open and manage multiple Prototype Views at the same time on a second monitor — you can only have one, and switching requires closing and reopening the Prototype View manually. As a result, every time I need to go back to my original frame or open a different prototype, I have to completely close the Prototype View and set it up again on the second monitor. If this behavior is intentional, could someone explain how to work with it properly?Otherwise,
