As a user who prefers the cloud version of Figma, but needs the desktop version for certain plugins to work, the “Do you want to open this file in the desktop app?” pop-up prompt is an extra time-wasting click, every time I open a file (dozens of times per day).
I understand the intention is to give people to options - perhaps this would be better suited as a preference setting i.e. “choose default open-with app” cloud or desktop.
Thanks for considering!

Hey there! Thanks for your feedback!
As a workaround, you can disable opening links in the Figma desktop app by default, by turning this setting off:
On Mac:
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma/"{Desktop,DesktopProfile}On Windows:
%APPDATA%\FigmaDesktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist.

“open links in desktop app” was already unchecked but clearing the desktop app cache seemed to resolve it! I am no longer getting the message:) Thanks so much!
Ahh glad it’s working now! Thanks for letting me know. I’ve gone ahead and closed the topic 😊
