# Open a saved file or a whole folder, also without the plugin window

> Click a file to open it, use Open all files on a folder, or type a file or folder name in Figma's Quick Actions.

## Goal

Jump to the files you use most, or open every file of a project at once, in a couple of keystrokes.

## Before you start

- Files saved in FileOpener.

## Steps

1. **Open one file** In FileOpener, click a file, or use its Open file button. Figma opens the saved link and FileOpener says "Opening" with the file's name.

2. **Open a whole folder** Hover a folder and click Open all files, or choose Open All Files in its ⋯ menu. Every saved file in the folder and its subfolders opens at once.

3. **Open a file from Quick Actions** Press Ctrl/Cmd+/ in Figma, run Open Figma Document… and start typing. FileOpener suggests up to 12 saved files, most recently changed first, matching their title, folder or link. Press Enter to open one.
4. **Open a folder from Quick Actions** Run Open Figma Document Set… and pick a folder from the list (up to 10 folders that hold files). All its files open, and FileOpener says how many.

## Tips

- Open all files opens every file in all subfolders too, so keep big folders split into smaller ones.
- Quick Actions remember their list for about 30 seconds; a file you just saved appears shortly after.

## Result

The files open in Figma without you searching for them in the file browser.

## If something goes wrong

- **Clicking a file opens a Figma search instead of the file.** -> The saved link does not start with https://www.figma.com/. Open the file's ⋯ menu > General Details and paste the full link from Share > Copy link into Figma URL.
- **A saved file opens the wrong document.** -> Check the link in ⋯ > General Details > Figma URL and paste the right one from Share > Copy link.
- **"No saved files found" in Quick Actions.** -> Save at least one file in FileOpener first.

## Common questions

### 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.
