  1. Desktop Notification should allow to answer right away (Desktop App, macOS)

    On macOS, Desktop Notifications can offer a "Reply" Button in order to allow a user to answer to a message right from the received notification, which is very handy. I wish to have this feature in the Mattermost Desktop app as some of my users have used Hipchat before and they complain this feature is not available in Mattermost.

  2. Allow for tighter spacing in the sidebar

    Currently tons of space is being wasted in the sidebar. Allow for tighter spacing of channel/user names so more of the list can be displayed at once.

  3. Button to minimize inline images (ex: GIFs plugin)

    Users can minimize an image preview of an URL that is directly pasted in the message, with the cross button at the top left corner. However, there is no such button if the same image is inlined with the folowwing syntax ![Description'](https://example-url/test.gif).

    It'd be useful to have a way of minimizing inline images, like Slack does and like Mattermost does for raw URL previews.

    This is a follow-up on multiple requests from the users of moussetc/mattermost-plugin-giphy on GitHub (Issue 12).

  4. Notify a user when they are removed from a channel

    When a user is removed from a channel, they aren't notified in any way - the channel just disappears from their window. It would be helpful to indicate that you've been removed.

  5. Preprovision native client apps

    As i'm rolling out the native Windows client to a lot of users (via windows software distribution) i'd like to be able to pre-provision the app with our mattermost servers url (and maybe other settings). It would be great if the client would support some way of getting it's initial configuration for example via a config file distributed with it.
    I've posted it to the windows category but i guess this would be nice (and just as easy to implement) on every platform. Mobile apps might be more difficult though.

  6. Give the option to move Direct Messages to the right of the channels (In between Channels & Chat)

    It would be nice to be able to move the Teams / Channels / Direct Messages in separate blocks so to be customizable.

    Right now i have alot of channels and my direct messages are all the way down. If i could move the direct messages to the right of the channels i think it would be neatly organized.

    Teams > Channels > Direct Messages > Chat window

    Cheers,

  7. Add shortcut to close current channel/direct chat

    Hello!

    It would be great to have a shortcut to close current channel or direct chat.

    It could be CTRL+F4 or CTRL+W.

  8. Inline webm viewer

    Show webm (and maybe mp4 as well if supported compression like x264) inline instead of having to click on the download button to view it. The video can already be played inside the mattermost app, but not inline. Right now our users use unnecessary large gifs to share animations because they work inline in the chat window.

  9. Add badge for new messages that's visible in a pinned tab.

    When you've pinned a tab on your browser the badge that appears to show new messages within the client isn't visible. At best you have to hover to see a (*) that denotes new messages.

    There should be an immediately visible badge on a pinned tab for unread messages.

  10. Show nicknames on each line while in compact mode

    There should be an option to show the nickname on each line, when using compact mode. As a long-time IRC user, I expect to have the name repeated on each line.
    This is specially annoying when the "New Messages" marker shows, where it should ALWAYS show the name in the line following the marker.

  11. 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.

  12. Expand image previews in Compact Message Display mode

    I would like to be able to see a preview of the attached image even if I am in Compact Message Display Mode.
    Currently, even if the Account Settings > Display > Default appearance of image previews is set to Expanded, the image is only displayed as an attachment icon when Account Settings > Display > Message Display is set to Compact. These two settings should work independently of each other.

  13. Touchbar integration

    How about adding touchbar integration for the latest Macbook Pros? This is one thing that HipChat had that was quite useful - could be used for emoji search, setting away/dnd status, etc.

    Thoughts?

  14. Make team tabs optional

    The new wide tab bar steals useful screen real estate, introduces visual redundancy to our single-server setup (team name mentioned twice within a really small area of UI), and makes the app look even less at home on macOS. The old top of the window bar at least looked native. Please consider making the tab bar optional at least in single-server environments.

  15. Click the file to open

    1. App sets an automatic download directory, such as $HOME\Documents\Mattermost Files\
    2. Add an "open" button beside the download button on the right side of the file in the chat.
    3. 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.

  16. Release RPM packages for those on rpm-based systems

    I recently switched to fedora and now i can't install the mattermost desktop app using rpm - because there's no rpm package.

    Thus I suggest you also release a rpm package (thanks to electron-builder this should be a pretty easy task)

  18. Disable taskbar badge for specified channel(s), but keep channel name in bold for unread general messages

    In the notification preferences for a channel (probably under Mark Channel Unread), I'd like to have the ability to disable the application icon badge in the taskbar unless someone mentions me or the whole channel, while still keeping the channel name in bold for any general messages.

    That way, when I open the app, I can see which channels have general messages for me to catch up on (b/c the channel name will be in bold), but I don't get drawn to the app by taskbar icon badges for channels that I don't want to be notified about while I'm…

  19. Open attached image in browser

    When trying to view attached images at their full resolution, having to save the image, find where you saved it, and then open it there is quite clunky.

    It would be better to open the attached image in a browser, users can right click save it from there, and it can easily be maximized there

  20. Allow screen-sharing without starting a call

    Enable a user to begin sharing their screen without needing to create a call. Useful in environments where calls must be disabled but screen-sharing is critical.
