Gitlab projects are more often than not shielded off into private repos.
Given that Mattermost easily installs along with Gitlab (using the Omnibus installer, just by providing the url mattermost can listen on) it would make a lot of sense to have that info there; instead of a very unhelpful & confusing "Sign in" metadata

Adding reactions on channel join/leave announcements is hilarious in Slack. Please add this.

Provide a "copy image" option that copies an image shown in a channel. In comparison, in the web app the "Copy image" is also available, as it is part of the standard Chrome menu for images.

Original report: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/858

If a user misses replying to a thread in a channel and instead replies directly to the channel, this message is not part of the thread that it was intended to be and the conversation is not clear.

There should be a way for a user or channel admin to move a message to the intended thread inside the channel and keep it inline with the on-going threaded conversation (since everything is timestamped this seems possible).

This would clean up the conversations and mistakes that users will make.

it would be really nice for monitoring and auditing purposes, to be able to extract a list of members in teams and channels

this is the opposite of the current setting:
ENTER inserts a new line and CTRL+ENTER submits the message.

it is often useful to know when your contacts are chatting from a PC or from their smartphones.

The Mattermost desktop client should automatically check for updates and prompt the user to update. This feature is mandatory in today's security landscape, even for an Electron app.

Most of our users don't realize their desktop is many version out of date, with pending security fixes.

Bonus points for shipping builds via the Windows Store, macOS App Store, snapcraft, etc.

Hi!

At the moment, no matter which theme you have selected (dark, light), the startup / loading screen is white with blue logo.

My eyes adapt slowly to such strong shifts in brightness, and I would love it if would respect my preferences and be dark if a dark theme was selected.

I posted this as an issue on GIthub, but was asked to move it here: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/985

Please create an integration with Figma

It is possible to secure self-managed Mattermost deployments w/ Fyde (www.fyde.com)'s unified security and trusted access platform.

Fyde provides granular access controls for enterprise apps (i.e. Mattermost) and workloads, and continuously monitors access requests.

With Fyde, you can roll-out strong device authentication, improve security posture of unmanaged devices and remediate configuration errors.

Please make the Data retention and prune/reset/clear feature available on at least E10 we don't need any E20 feature only the data retention.

Would it be possible to have an icon to pin a message directly, without having to click on the 3 dots? The solution would be either next to the "Flag" icon on the left (my prefered solution, like the picture below), or next to the Emoji icon on the right?

Thanks!

A toggle option so that threads appear as "N comments" and open in the side-panel, so they do not interrupt the main flow of the channel, and you can follow each thread mode easily.

On Ubuntu 19.04, the mattermost desktop client does not indicate unread messages in the launcher (I mean adding a little pop-up symbol to the icon as shown in this post about Windows #194).

I don't know if that is intended (no comparison on other systems). For thunderbird a similar thing exists, but I wouldn't know how to implement right away. I suggest a permanent "red dot" indicating new messages, or optionally a counter.

Hi all,

We ran into an issue where messages sent that consist of an attachment as per:
https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html 1
don’t show anything in email notifications. I was wondering if this was intended?

I can imagine sending the formatted text is difficult, but part of the message attachment is a fallback string and including this in the email notification should be feasable.

Kind regards,
Louis
