Figma Desktop App Beta Testing (January)

October 7, 2019 at 5:21pm (Edited 1 year ago)
Hello!
We have a new desktop app beta build for you:
(links removed because we're released the update to everyone, thanks for testing!)
The changes are internal, mostly consisting of upgrading the underlying Electron framework to a newer version. The most visible effect should be faster performance when opening files.
We would really appreciate your help in testing out this build. Please let us know if you notice anything unusual.
Thank you!

Hi—I have some downtime, and will be testing it out on MacOS. Once I move out of some 32-bit app frameworks, will also be running this on a macOS Catalina system.

Load file seems faster, but there's a brief moment where the UI (mouse) freeze right before the file load

Recently load times for some files (small ones) seem super slow. Like it takes probably 30 full seconds to open. Running 81.4

Update: Running more quickly for me now. Takes about 30 seconds to open a file with hundreds of instances. Opens smaller files in 3-5 seconds

Installed! Initial load time is an annoying issue indeed. Once I have some feedback on the new version, I'll share here

Thank you! Any reason why I’m getting much snappier performance when using Safari instead of the desktop client?

Official release 76 build 4 is ok. But release 81 today starts with absolutely blank screen instead of drafts/recent list. Yesterday it was ok, but with today's improvements the start screen is broken. Nothing helps. I tried to clean all figma files, restart macOS and reinstall again. Blank screen in release 81, and all ok in release 76.

the issues with overlay and switch have stil not been resolved. Bummer. Realy. I tried everything from clip content to mask components and frame still no success. This makes me look bad when presenting my prototype to my stakeholders last friday. yep. not happy. I so wish switch will literally only switch that very one element
