There is currently no indication to the user that after they have clicked on a file to download, and picked the download location that the file is actually downloading.
Proposed design:

The download bar can be reopened by going to “View > Downloads” if there are downloads to show.

Hi, I am interested to take this up! Can I take a look?
@laxmy, apologies for the delay. Absolutely you can take this! Let us know if you're still interested and I'll assign this to you and remove the "Up for Grabs" label
@esethna Thanks. I would like to give it a go. Please assign it to me.
@laxmy you got it! Let me know if you have any questions. You can also ask our desktop devs if you have any questions at https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/desktop-app
@Willyfrog can help answer any technical questions. Once you've had a chance to dive in we're also happy to review your proposed approach before you get too deep into the coding
Sure thing. Will get back to you or @Willyfrog once I wrap my head around it
