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!

Support preview of HEIF / HEIC images
Modern smartphones, iOS and Android based, save photos in HEIC instead of JPEG.
As of now, there's no preview support for HEIC encoded images. When people post photos taken on their smartphones, users currently have to download the photo to see it.
Therefore I suggest adding support of HEIC to the image previews 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.

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.

Add spotlight search integration
It would be useful to integrate with Spotlight Search on OS-X so that I can search in one place among local files, emails, MM messages, etc.

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 .
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).

Option to disable spell checking
Currently, spell checking is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
To some users, the red underlining is visually distracting. Also, the spell checker is currently unable to detect on-the-fly, in-sentence language switching, which is sometimes used in mixed-language teams or when discussing mixed-language subjects (like programming).
Therefore, I'd like to suggest adding an option to permanently disable spell checking - either in the configuration, or, in the input bar's context menu, where the spell check language is usually selected.
In the input bar it could look like this:

Add filter to show only channels with unread messages (or recent activity)
I like Mattermost but frequently the list of collaborators gets long and I have to scroll between active chats.
I think a filter feature would be useful to show only certain chats, e.g.
- channels with unread messages
- filter by textCombined with "pinned channels" this would help to focus on the active stuff even without giving Mattermost an entire (large) screen.

Allow me to customize my ignore mentions list for notifications
Currently we can set notifications to
Ignore mentions for @channel, @here and @all. I would like to customize that list, much like the opposite of the user settings for triggering mentions.3 votes -

Option to setup the ping warning before sending @here or @channe
I'm getting an annoying warning every time I send an @here message to my team. Could you please make this configurable?

Pause GIFs in background
It would reduce resource usage and distraction if mattermost (like e.g. telegram) would pause GIF playbacks while the app is in background.

Automatic detection of programming language syntax when you send code with markdown and the language is not specified
When sending code with this markdown syntax: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/writing-on-github/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#fenced-code-blocks
And if the language is not specified for the highlighting. I propose to create a detection and an automatic addition of the language. Automatic detection with this library: https://highlightjs.org/

Add 'Mark Read' option in right click of Channel(or Group) to clear notification icon
I suggest to have 'Mark read' option for any Channel in Mattermost.
There may have few groups which are integrated to get notification of JIRA updates or Jenkins to build status. Loads of messages are received there and one will see notification icon until one open that channel.
It will be great if Mattermost provides 'Mark Read' kind of function to clear particular channel notifications without opening channel chat.
I would recommend having this as a right-click option of a channel.
