New Extensions and Container Interface Enhancements in Docker Desktop 4.9

We’re excited to announce the launch of Docker Desktop 4.9, and we’re looking forward to you trying it! Here’s what’s coming in our latest launch. 

Manage your containers easily with table view and bulk remove

We’ve made a few user experience enhancements to the containers tab based on all of your awesome feedback. We’re excited to announce that on the Containers tab you can now:

• Easily clean up multiple containers simultaneously with multi-select checkboxes

• Resize columns to view your complete container and image names. Just drag the dividers in the table header.
• Quickly copy your image id and easily paste it elsewhere, like in your terminal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Easily sort columns using header attributes. You can also hide columns to create more space and reduce clutter.

• Navigate away from your tab and back to it, without disturbing either sorting and search results. These now remain in place thanks to state persistence!

 

Are you looking for more easy ways to tidy up your resources? Check out our Disk Usage extension in the Extensions Marketplace!

New extensions are joining the lineup

We’re happy to announce the addition of two new extensions to the Extensions Marketplace:

• Lens Kubernetes – helps you access and take control of your Kubernetes clusters. Read more about it on the Mirantis website.
• Slim.ai – gives you the power to create secure containers faster. Dive deeply into the construction of your images and discover what’s in your containers. Read more about this exciting extension here.

 

Information at a glance with the Docker Dashboard Footer

We’ve revamped the Docker Dashboard Footer to readily display key information about Docker Desktop’s current state, including:

1. Virtual Machine memory usage
2. Virtual Machine CPU usage
3. Docker Desktop version
4. A quick way to view the tip of the week
