A lot of AD forests have Profile Photos in them. Mattermost provides no administrative capability to set profile photos. Therefore, just yank them out of AD? Would prevent complex UI from being necessary and give us AD admins a more fancy way :)

The system console shows the SMTP server password in clear. No other application/website with sane defaults does that. Some offer a button next to the password field to reveal the password temporarily, so the user can make sure no one is standing next to them who could see the secret.

I actually consider this a bug, but it was rejected as such: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/10909

Please implement a dark window title bar for Mojave as it really stands out currently.

detect if user is really idle (away), not just if mattermost window doesn't has focus

I tried to implement a plugin which supports spoilers and moderated posts.

To achieve his would require me to process or format the post when it is being rendered.

Support importing of private channels and private messages as these are part of the slack compliance exports.

It would be nice if "in:" could support direct messages. This was discussed in

https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/7762

which depended on https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/189 which was already merged, so maybe this isn't too hard to add now?

Now the contacts (Direct messages) are always sorted alphabetically. It would be great to have different options of sorting. What we like the most is sorting by last message recieved/sent, which means on top we always have our most recent conversation (like in Skype)
Any chance to have it in future?

Channel-specific option to enable/disable notifications from channel-wide mentions "@channel", "@all", and "@here". Currently they can only be globally toggled in "Account Settings" > "Notifcations" > "Words that trigger metnions" > "Channel-wide mentions @channel, @all, @here".

I want notifications for some channels where I'm the main support person and need to respond to all messages, but do not want notifications on other channels that I never need to reference unless I have a question I'll be asking others.

Would be lovely to view the files that have been shared in a channel. This would go neatly with the idea of pinning posts as well. You could be able to pin files.

Notifications are challenging, and a common source of friction seems to be "hey, you triggered a notification I didn't want by saying (at)all".

Slack handles this nicely: they intercept the message before send, and advise the user of the outcome.

> By using (at)all, you are about to notify 123 people in 12 timezones. Are you sure? [edit message] [send now]

Allow to reorder channels order (by drag n drop)

Currently I can't create messages with more than 4000 characters. This limit should be removed.

My shop is very Linux and command line heavy. We would like to see the [install dir]/bin/platfrom utility expanded to include more features, which can then be scripted. The first such feature we would like to see would be the ability to list users from the utility.

Show a member list on the side of the chat window listing all the users that are in the current room, sorted by status and then name (so that logged out users are at the bottom).

This seems critical to communication .. who's in the room, who's online, who am I talking to, am I in the right room before typing @everyone, etc. At a glance. The little member button with drop down is insufficient especially in rooms with hundreds of people.

Hi,

it would be nice if incoming webhooks could support some kind of actions or buttons.

Ie: you use mattermost to recive alerts from a monitoriring system and you want to take action on this. Create a ticket, close the alert etc (linking to external systems/source)

There are similar functionality in Microsoft Teams and Slack.

With a lot of groups/channels ,the sidebar becomes very cluttered. A collapsable hierachy with sub-channels/groups would be great.

Or, easier to implement I guess, the ability to group channels/private groups into folders.
