Are you currently working around the issue? Switching between a browser and DD to use the run modal
Additional context N/A
For images that define exposed ports (using EXPOSE), those ports are made available through the "Optional parameters" portion of the run dialog. It would be nice to have those elevated, making it easier to remember/define it if needed.
Use case... I'm running a web app (like a Jupyter notebook) and would like to expose the port to make it possible to access in the browser. But, it's too easy to just click "Run" without exposing the port.
Another improvement would be around volumes. It would be awesome to allow an image to somehow specify "special" directories, such as a web root that files will be served from, a directory that database initialization scripts can be dropped, where the database files are stored, etc. Then, the dialog can prompt users for the "web root", "database startup scripts", etc., making it easier to spin up the images.
There's also no way to specify a named volume through the dialog, which is useful to simply persist files (such as a database).
