Frequently asked questions
Does my FileOpener library sync between computers?
No. It is stored on each device. Use Export and Import to copy it.
Can my team share one library?
Not live. Export the library to the canvas or as JSON and let teammates import it; later changes need a new export.
Can I open a FileOpener folder with a keyboard shortcut?
Yes. Open Quick Actions with Ctrl/Cmd+/ and run Open Figma Document Set…, then pick the folder.
Does the saved link open a specific frame?
Links FileOpener saves itself point to the frame you had selected when you clicked Add, or to the page you were on. Links you paste by hand open the file.
Why are my tags in lower case?
FileOpener treats tags as case-insensitive and stores them in lower case, so Client and client are the same tag.
Where do I see a file's notes?
In its ⋯ menu > Edit Notes. Notes are not shown in the list.
Why does FileOpener ask me for the file's link?
Plugins from Figma Community usually cannot read a file's address themselves. You paste it once per file, and FileOpener remembers it in that file.
Can I save any Figma file?
Yes, any Figma Design or FigJam file you can open. FileOpener stores its link, not its content.
Where is my library stored?
On your computer, in Figma's storage for the plugin. It is not stored in the Figma file and is not shared with teammates; use Export & Import to move it.
Does FileOpener open PDFs or images?
No. It saves and opens links to Figma and FigJam files.
