Tried the Auto Layout spacing plugin and got a mess instead of magic

I installed Spacing Pro (the one that claims to auto-set gaps between layers) on a 30-frame dashboard project last week. It just slapped +8 everywhere, ignoring my grouping and nested frames completely. Has anyone found a plugin that actually respects your existing hierarchy?

Yeah I tried that one too and it wrecked my card component library in like five seconds. Honestly I just gave up on auto spacing and now I use a manual shortcut to add 8px gaps while I'm building things out. It's not as flashy but at least my nested frames don't get flattened into a single layout block.

Maybe the issue is expecting auto-layout to read your mind instead of just spreading things out evenly. Idk, I've had way better luck just setting manual spacing rules and letting the logic do simple math.
