Regex search through emojis
With the recent advent of .*ge emojis (ie sadge, madge, agreege) it would be useful to search for emojis matching a regex pattern.

Allow users to set different sounds per channel
We have a few bots set up on their own channels and they're constantly alerting. I'd like to be able to set them up with a different sound. Currently my only choice is muting. This way, when I'm working, I can tell if it's a coworker, where I need to immediately look and reply, a bot that is letting me know a new ticket was started, and I can look in a few minutes, or a bot letting me know the server is down, in which case I can quit.

"Retry" button to resend the message with its original timestamp.
Right now the behaviour is the following:
In case of network failure, the message is held in "draft" mode and with a "retry" button it can be resent.The resent happens however with a current timestamp overwriting the original one and placing the message as a new message in the chat effectively putting it out of it's original context.
Idea to implement:
While clicking "retry" button, the message will preserve its original timestamp and therefore be placed in the right context. Channel users should be notified about it the same way like it's a new message and have ability to…1 vote -
Feature to enable Auto theme switch based on MacOS theme
Introduce an "Auto mirror OS theme" toggle button in Mattermost Desktop for MacOS (and possibly Windows) client so it can mirror the MacOS theme setting (Settings > General > Appearance) Light and Dark automatically.
Many users would want to use dark themes for their apps to work at night, but Mattermost default theme is pretty bright in the dark.
Right now it should be a manual theme change to switch to the Mattermost dark theme. This would be a great step towards better user experience.

Delete channels
Hello,
I would like to have the possibility that channels whether private or public can be permanently deleted by system administrators.
So you can save resources in the database and keep a better overview of the remaining channels.6 votes -
Get alerted when the status of another user changes
I would like to get alerted when another user comes online.
In the proprietary messaging application that is also used in our organization, this feature is available as a right-click menu item labeled "Tag for Status Change Alerts", i.e. you can switch on/off alerts per user. I have always found it very useful so it would be a nice addition to Mattermost.

Create color themes that use OS native colors
Electron has several API functions for retrieving specific native colors from the operating system. The main function that does this is
systemPreferences.getColor(color), but additional features are provided bysystemPreferences.getAccentColor()andsystemPreferences.getSystemColor(color). I'm not familiar with any examples of applications that have actually used these functions, but they could be especially nice on macOS Big Sur, where the system colors can be "vibrant"; that is, system colors vary slightly based on wallpaper tinting. Supporting native system colors could help the Mattermost desktop app feel even more at home in various desktop environments.You can find the functions in question…

inverted chat window configurable
This would not be only for the app. It is more a general thing for the appearance.
I would like to have a setting which gives me the option to invert the chat winodw. What i mean in detail with that is that the chat input would be on top. New messages would appear on top aswell and i have to scroll down to read older messages instead of up.

Keep images collapsed when scrolling up
Often when I'm scrolling up in a chat, I'll lose my place b/c images suddenly start loading. Since images are now collapsible, it'd be awesome if unloaded ones (i.e., the ones further up in the chat) would stay collapsed until you manually expand them.

Audio Volume Control
I've found that the volume level for notifications in the app can quite loud compared to other apps. Is it possible to add some internal setting that allows for scaling the volume of notifications?

Click the file to open
- App sets an automatic download directory, such as $HOME\Documents\Mattermost Files\
- Add an "open" button beside the download button on the right side of the file in the chat.
- When you click the "Open" button, if the file has not been downloaded, it will be automatically downloaded to the download folder in the first step. At the same time, the download progress bar will be displayed below the file in the chat. After the download is complete, or the file has been downloaded, call the system program to open the file.

Don't cover message text with the hover toolbar buttons
When I point at a message, a group of about 4 icons appears at the top right of the message. My annoyance is that this icon group covers part of the text of the message I'm trying to read. Please reposition this button group so that it does not obscure the text.

Option to allow hiding the server tabs bar
I would love to be able to hide the top server tabs bar on my single-server setup. Lots of wasted space when I don't have any other servers. I like to have the window fairly small, sort of old-school instant-messaging style, and when I do, 5% of the height of the window is taken up by the tabs bar (yes, I'm that kind of person where I measured the height of my window in pixels and the height of the tabs bar using GIMP).
Even if I were connected to other servers, I could switch servers using a keyboard shortcut…

memorize login
I installed last v4.3.2 mattermost-desktop on my Ubuntu 18 laptop. I didn't find any solution to memorize my logins, so each morning, I have to enter it.

Allow a user list in the right-hand side bar
The right hand sidebar for the Mattermost client seems to only support searching. Many chat-apps like Slack, Discord, and others include a list of users in the current channel in a sidebar that can be displayed at all times. I think this would be a great feature!

Enable Notifications when Mattermost is not Visible to the User
If a chat is selected when the desktop app is not visible or minimized, the user will not receive notifications for any new messages sent within the chat.
For example, If I am talking to Bob, then I shrink the desktop app with his name still selected in the left hand pane, or I open a new window and cannot see the Mattermost app, it wont notify me of a new message from Bob unless I make sure to click on a different chat window with someone else prior to moving my attention away from Mattermost.
I understand we wouldnt…

Make 'reply to last message in a channel' a default option
Enable the ability for a user org/admin to make 'reply to the last message in a channel' the default option when starting a new message, so threads are the default for a conversation. This could perhaps also be optionally limited to replies that explicitly start with or contain an 'at-mention' of the handle of the creator of the original post.
