Data populator major bugs that ruin the experience #259
Description
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

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.
