Kitematic: Powershell is slow - add an obvious way to permanently switch to cmd

Created on 1 Sep 2015  路  4Comments  路  Source: docker/kitematic

I personally don't like to use Powershell when it is not necessary, so pressing "Docker CLI" button doesn't bring much convenience. A checkbox like "Use CMD instead of Powershell" in settings would be great.

I believe that Git bash cli has some issues when attaching to a container and why it wasn't selected as the shell of choice

I believe Powershell works a lot better with the different docker settings and why it's the preferred exe -

With that said you can always customize your Windows environment, so that powershell.exe is really a copy of cmd.exe and your 'real' powershell is instead something like powershelladmin.exe

For people on work laptops, being able to rename system executables like that isn't feasible. I really need some way of specifying which CLI I want to use. I'm surprised that it doesn't use the Git bash CLI that comes as part of the Windows Docker Toolkit.

Many years passed but still no progress. Very sad.
