Options to filter images/containers

[wclr]

It would be useful for a particular project to see only certain images/containers (referring to the project), so options with filtering pattern for names would be nice.

The same refers to registries and images there.

Help me understand... we could do something like have a configuration that lets you specify a regex for images to be shown in the explorer and the command palette. would this work for you?

[wclr]

Yes I'm talking about this. Filter for images/containers/registries.

[lanzkron]

I second this, adding a filter (or search) for containers when many containers/images are present will be a big plus

[wclr]

Any progress on that feature?

@whitecolor Would #430 solve the problem for you? Or do you need that plus filtering? Thx.

[wclr]

I think (custom) filtering is still needed, just to show only related containers to the project.

VSCode now supports highlighting and filtering of tree views. Just click in the treeview you want to filter and start typing; here is an example of what I see when I type 'docker' in the Images treeview.

If I hover over the word 'docker' in the top right corner and then click on the highlight/filter toggle I can switch to filter mode to only show the nodes that match my search.

I think this should give you the flexibility you need to search/filter Images, Containers, and any other treeview!
