Vscode-docker: Rename "Run" / "Run Interactive" to "Create Container"

Created on 4 Oct 2019  ·  5Comments  ·  Source: microsoft/vscode-docker

As a user, getting from an image to container is not intuitive. I would have expected a context menu on an image to "Create Container":

I think run is correct in the context of docker because it is actually invoking the docker run command

I think I'm with @ThorstenHans on this one. Containers are a bit like processes; it is true that you "create" processes but normally we say we "run" processes/applications/etc. @BigMorty What do you think?

I tend to agree, Run seems to be the correct verb here. What do folks think about "Run Container" and "Run Container Interactive" ???

That would end up in appending either container or image to every entry
