Use AppData/Local for cached data on Windows
For Windows all local Mattermost data is stored inside of %APPDATA% (AppData/Roaming).
This directory syncs between computers on every login / logout in certain corporate environments.Cache data should be placed inside AppData/Local.

Add the posibility to have a list of teams instead of the very small squares in the teams column
The small squares of team names are very difficult to find a team in as the team name does not fit in the little square.
I would like to have the option to have a list similar to the one with topics within a team instead of those small squares.2 votes -
Show the connection status instead of just providing an error message
When the client goes offline, which is common when laptops suspend or for corporate implementations where a VPN is required to access the server, the only feedback provided is that the server can't be reached and to get help. This is not only not an appropriate message in this case but the message stays on the screen even after the connection is re-established. Instead of showing a disconnection message I propose replacing it with a connection state indicator. Ideally when the client is offline it will obvious (like changing the color of the window) but I won't be able to…

Have a button which takes you to the next (oldest) unread message.
If you have a lot of channels (some of which may be off the screen), it may useful to have a 'Next Unread' button which jumps you to the earliest unread message.

Add a keyboard shortcut to jump the the currently open RHS content/message thread.
Often, I will have a long running thread/message-reply chain open, and then a certain channel open for other conversations. It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to jump to the input for the sidebar, just like there is the equivalent "Focus Input" shortcut (Shift + GUI + L) that jumps to the input for the current channel.
With that, I could easily jump between both places to add new messages without having to switch to my mouse/trackpad.

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.

Display local time of person you're messaging above text box
Like slack has, would be better to display the local time of the person you're messaging, as we have people on our server from over 4 different time zones

Make text selectable in images
In macOS Monterey and later, you can select text in screenshots and other images in e.g. Preview.app. When people paste screenshots of user interfaces etc. on Mattermost, and I want to copy & paste some text from it, then I have to first right-click the image and select "Copy Image", then switch to Preview.app, paste the image there, and then select and copy, and switch back to Mattermost to paste the text. This requires more steps then necessary, and is not very discoverable, leading many to simply not know they can copy text from screenshots.
If one limits the feature…

CTRL+F performs a browser-like search in the desktop app
One missing piece in the desktop apps is CTRL+F browser-like search.
There is a plan to implement 'search in current channel' (https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/305), but implementing the browser-like find feature is closer to the web app experience
There is existing electron APIs for finding something on the page: http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/web-contents/#contentsfindinpagetext-options

Switch the status color indicator to the background of the icon
User icons are okay now on the left side list but would it be even more clear to switch the icon color to white and change the background color for the status? Please check the link for a demo:

Add a font which is readable without Anti Aliasing
With release v4.0 release (July 16, 2017) the ability to choose fonts was removed. The one and only font (Open Sans) is quite unreadable if Anti Aliasing is switched off. Please think about people with handicaps which cannot use Anti Aliasing because of their eyes.
Please add at least one font (as Arial or Ubuntu from pre 4.0) or provide a simple description of how someone can do this for a local installation.

windows people
Summary
Microsoft now supports pinning conversations within applications to the taskbar through what they call the My People API:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/contacts-and-calendar/my-people-support
It looks like it primarily supports windows store apps/c#, so it might not be possible to do with electron/node. It's also OS-specific, which isn't really beneficial to the app as a whole.

Notificiation settings per server
If using Mattermost with more than one Server it would be great if the user could have separate notification settings or the option to mute one or more selected servers.

make Shift-Up select from the list of recent messages to reply to
Currently Shift-Up allows for a quick reply to the latest message, but what if someone just said something and the one you want is no longer the latest?
Repeated presses could move up through the message history, allowing to reply to a message that isn't the latest.
Likewise, Shift-Down (currently unused) could move down the list (and, optionally, all the way back to the main input field like Ctrl-Shift-L)
