Don't embed images directly
Hey,
we are enterprise customers (if that matters).
We played around with mattermost a while with a small team first and fixed several stuff for our use (mostly small stuff like CSS), but one thing should really have an option in the admin panel (in our opinion).
You should be able to prepend a generic media proxy URL (like https://github.com/atmos/camo) to preview'd media. We ended up hardcoding it, what is not much a problem. But in our opinion embedding images directly is a security risk (ip-leaks, csrf attacks, ...) and also could break ssl.
The preview could use some…
18 votesThank you Tom for the feature proposal!
Mattermost v4.7 and later support an image proxy. You can deploy it with atmos/camo https://github.com/atmos/camo

Keep red-dot-notifications in tray when receiving a message with MM-client in background
Found behavior (Windows 10): MM-client is in the background (e.g. when reading stuff in another window) and I receive a direct message, then the red dot in the tray appears just to disappear directly after, IF the last opened channel was the one where I got the message. Somehow the app doesn't recognize that it is not in focus and thinks the message has been read.
Due to this we missed some communication as we "lose" red circles indicating new messages. Tried several notification-configurations but no luck so far.
Thanks a lot for helpful ideas or a fix!22 votesThis issue has been resolved.

Keyboard shortcuts for new messages.
I would like Ctrl + N or Cmd + N to bring up the direct messages pop-up. Once a username is the last in the filter box and is highlighted, allow the enter key to start the new conversation
5 votesThank you Edwin for nominating the feature! The keyboard shortcut CTRL+K and CMD+K let’s you switch to a direct message channel (even if it hasn’t been started before), with Mattermost 3.5 and later.

Client UI API
The Mattermost current have the necessary basic feature. But current only have API to extend in the chat channel.
I think it is possible to create a UI API. The developer can write a plugin host on online.
If somebody's Mattermost server add this (self-)hosted service, the Mattermost client will call it and pull some JavaScript to change current client UI, and developer can create more feature for it.
For example, we can embedded the Github issue tracker sidebar inside it, but didn't to use any webhook.
Another benefits is the Mattermost server host can customize their Mattermost without build…
21 votesThis is now supported! Mattermost has released a plugin framework. It is currently in Beta as we add more features for the framework.

Android push-notification play even with chat open
the open push notif library dont seem to take into account that the app or chat is open, so while having a discussion you get spammed with alerts.
9 votesNew push notification settings have been added in v3.5 released November 16th which enable you to choose whether or not you want to receive notifications while online, away or offline which fix this issue.

Add "What i do" field in General Settings
In large organization sometimes people don't know each other. Slack has "What i do" field and people can describe what their role in the organization there (like "I am Software Engineer" or "Internet Marketting"). Adding field like this in General Setting will be very helpful.
This field should appear in user profile box when we hover on someones name too.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion Wendy. The “Position” field in Account Settings shipped with Mattermost v3.6.

when typing code with ```, Enter should not send the message
In Advanced Preferences in Slack there is an option that allows the [enter] behavior to change while in a code block (```).
It would be nice to have this in mattermost.

Thank you everyone for nominating this feature!

On login don't display teams if only one is available
When login in mattermost it shows "Your teams" that I must select to go to "Town Square".
If only one team is available, it should skip this screen and go immediately to that team's Town Square

Closing this issue off.

Allow channel headers to be locked down
In channels with 200+ members, people sometimes mess up with the channel headers and this is unwanted when important announcements are being made up there. I think the "topic" should be able to be locked down and write-able only by admins, just like on irc.
Maybe a global option to lock the headers to channel creators? Or allow certain people to change the headers (permissions?).

Allow reordering teams in desktop application
There seems to be no way to reorder the teams in the desktop application (the order within the tab strip at tthe top of the application window), other than deleting and re-adding the teams in the desired order. It would be useful to be able to reorder the teams in the settings by dragging, or directly in the tab strip.

Teams displayed as tabs instead of a list
It would be GREAT to display the teams as tabs instead of a list.
The benefit here is if something is mentioned in a channel within that team, you could flash/graphically activate the tab to notify the user that there is activity.
The way it is right now, it's very confusing to have to click down through the list of teams to find active conversations.

Mail notification subject contain channel's name
The email is sent when someone who are in channel mentioned.
But, there is no information about channel name in email notification.
(cf. push notification has channel name information on it.)For better identification, I think that email notification need to provide channel name to mail subject.

resize conversation window
It would be handy to be able to resize the conversation window to make it wider. I have just posted some code in there where some of the lines are longer than the width of the conversation window so they wrap. it makes it kinda hard to comprehend it.
Yes I can of course view the message in the "main" window but this lessens the value of the conversation window.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion, this is completed and available by clicking the expand/collapse icon in the Message Details header on the right-hand-side.

Team icon

Mark messages
A function to mark messages to be handled later would be very useful. If you get a message with a task and you can't handle it instantly it would be great to mark it, f.e. with a star, to find it later easily. And if you could generate a list with all marked messages to have a "task list" this would be best!
6 votesThanks to your votes, flagged messages is now available in Mattermost 3.3!
