Docker Desktop UI: Search Volumes by container name for import/export

[timtoba]

Tell us about your request There was a plugin in the past, which could export/import volumes to/from files, and which showed the container name for each volume listed. It was replaced by the build-in support for export/import of volumes, but now I have to go into the container's configuration, find the cryptic volume id in there and paste it in the search field of the export/import feature. I'd like to see the container name in the volume list, and I'd like to be able to search volumes by container name.

Which service(s) is this request for? Docker Desktop UI

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I am using export/import of volumes nearly on a daily basis for software testing and development.

Are you currently working around the issue? Yes, I open the container's "inspect" tab, go to volumes and find the volume ID there, which can be used for finding the volume within the export/import dialogs.
