Data populator major bugs that ruin the experience

[nreljed]

Which version of the plugin are you using?

[x] Data Populator for Adobe XD under windows 11

Describe the bug
I confirm that data populator no longer works correctly. I just spent 2 days thoroughly testing none of these functions worked

• Trim text ellipsis (does not work)

• Local images do not populate no matter what method to do Local image path is not populating #233
  even this example Absolute image paths don't work #175 does not work .. there is something wrong with adobe xd on windows?

can you confirm with a real xd demo file with an images folder and a data file and that everything still works together?
attention we are talking about adobe XD under windows 11

To Reproduce

1- freshly install adobe xd 45.0.2.16
2- install data populator 4.0.3
3- create a grid
4- try to do an ellipsis trim test or populate images locally

Expected behavior

that everything works as explained in the documentation

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• windows 11 lastest updates
• adobe xd 45.0.2.16
• data populator 4.0.3

Additional context

I have just discovered addobe XD and data populator and it's unfortunate that these bugs have destroyed the experience and at the same time I discovered google sheet plugin for adobe xd and all of a sudden everything becomes easier ..
but data populator seems to have top points like populate through groups and trim text "..." api etc

possible future option to add in 2022:

I thought of a way to bring together the best of both methods (json and google sheet) for a simpler solution. maybe an option to read and convert google sheet data or add a similar function while keeping the best of data populator compared to other plugins.

@nreljed Data Populator is about JSON, support for Google Sheets is not planned. Regarding the issues on Windows: is this still happening for you?

Thanks for your time and response
I still have problem number 4
4 - try to do an ellipsis trim test or populate images locally
I sometimes find that shuffle and repeat items bug

I am now at XD version 49.0.12.14

the latest version of data populator available is 4.0.3 (June 23, 2021)

I hope a good update is planned to catch up with the changes made by Adobe XD since 2021 🙏
