What are blobs used for? #14

Open crocodile opened 1 year ago

crocodile commented 1 year ago

This is a question: What is the blobs[ ] metadata used for in the Figma json file? I am trying to create fig files from scratch (so starting a diagram outside of Figma) and without these blobs the website won't import them. I suspect it is related to the commandsBlob property, but I could not figure out how...

Thanks in advance!

@crocodile did you end up figure it out?

I think those are images embedded in figma as well. as the thumbnail of the file

FWIW, these are not images. They are most likely some kind of checksum.

You can modify say a fill color, save the file and it will import correctly.

However, trying to add additional elements to the page say a shape like a rectangle, and then importing won't work.

This requires the blob to be updated in some way.
