Yeah, and the selection dialogue if you have multiple accounts activated. ---

you mean the selection dialog should be able to open broken accounts / be more graceful when it doesn’t find required properties? PS: Do you have a backup with the old - wrong password db? I’m wondering if the missing values were caused by the older version. ---

Yeah, I did a backup before messing with it 🙂 ---

ReplyTo: Image not shown in desktop version. Maybe date and time of that replied message. Message selection: As the three dots are no longer appearing when selecting a message I miss a shadow or something that give me a hint about my current selection. To say: It was good to have this 3 dots. Update general I: An update message while installing update: “Previous installation found. Updating. Update finished. All keys unchanged and valid. All OK. Have fun.” Update general II: Rather sooner than later an inbuild update function (via Help-menu) Installation general: Let one choose a folder if one wants ---

But meant inbuilt (like e.g in Firefox, but is technical maybe the same as the update types you mentioned, to say: ok then, could be a way for that ones who have/want an account. I have not.) ---

Desktop Search: I can search for something and get a result list. But it I cannot jump to this message. – Desktop Identity Verification: No signs if a contact is verified. Only an entry in the new chat dialog. (if at all, e.g from Desk2Desk, meaning: somehow a mobile has to be involved to work) Hopefully at least like in iOS (blue ticks in profile and in the new chat dialog) Therefore: See also post[“Make veryfied contact more visible”](https://support.delta.chat/t/make-veryfied-contact-more-visible/480/13) – Desktop Media Gallery Allow deletion of media items as in the mobile versions (and also jump to the message if double-clicked) – Desktop Backup Could be a bug? Cleaning chats from media files (and also completly in the folder manually) makes a backup corrupt! (relates to item before Desktop Media Gallery) Also date/time? Got another date in the file name as system date/time? Its seems its some start date/time but not the actual system date/time ---

Thanks for your feedback, but the testing threads should be mainly about bug reports and not so much about feature requests 🙂 ---

Speaking for myself only: Yes right. But I have written some of the feedback here cause I saw it as bug compared to the mobile version if this or that does not work on the desktop the same way as on the mobile (or mabye vice-versa). Hard to decide if this is than a bug or a feature request. E.g.: Missing info-button for the message that shows the original email-content is another one or rather missing original email-content when clicking the message-details menu. Another one: Multiple items selection and possible actions. ---

We know that you can’t jump to messages, if it were that easy to do we would have done it already. I tried implementing a virtual message list a while back, but it was too laggy/buggy to release: [🚧 Virtualize chatview by Simon-Laux · Pull Request #1685 · deltachat/deltachat-desktop · GitHub](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/pull/1685) It’s a bug if there is something not working that should clearly work, but missing features are feature proposals/request. ---
