Can't find https://github.com/dockerfile/elasticsearch in containers search, but I was able to pull and start a container from the docker shell.

Similarly, imported images do not show up in the UI list.
Thanks for the issue.
@fredmeews I think this may be a different issue - the UI list only shows _containers_. Unfortunately there's no current way to create a container from a local image that you've built or imported.
There is an obvious need to be able to select local images, not just ones from Dockerhub. THis seems like the right issue thread.
Its is possible to run an image from the CLI , at which point the container can be viewed from the GUI. There is clearly something missing here
A nice way to do this would be a "Local" filter in the new container panel. A related issue would be local image management: check which are dangling, and allow image deletion (dangling or not, with the approppriate warnings).
Agree -- with pazustep -- this would make the app really impressive -- allow for local management prior to pushing up to a repo (private or public)
Thanks for the feedback and great points, all.
see below
This is probably not perfect, but I was able to implement some of the above features, via the following:
https://github.com/tecknix/kitematic/tree/list-images

I'll need to add support for tags and such.
Any downloaded image will show up on this tab, additionally you can now build your images from cli and see them listed within kitematic.
The example here is from the Static Python example:
https://github.com/elyase/docker/tree/master/staticpython
$ cd staticpython
$ docker build -t fb/staticpy .
Feedback is appreciated.
@FrenchBen awesome!
:+1:
Thanks @FrenchBen
@jeffdm really looking for this PR!
Kitematic is great! even when your a CLI addict.
:+1: Would love to see this although it looks like it might not be coming?
@klousiaj It's still pending in the PR - Just needs to be updated and looked at again
+1 for showing and administrating local images. Anything that could be done to speed this up?
Any chance of this getting added sometime soon? I use Kitematic as a local app launcher, and one of the images I've started using requires a fresh start each time from the base image, which is a faff having to try to remember the name of the image each time I want to launch it.

This has been released a few versions ago - Closing this issue.
This doesn't appear to actually work in the latest version of Kitematic. When I click on My Images tab it says Cannot find any local images but if I click on the DOCKER CLI button and then type docker images it lists a bunch of images, both built locally and pulled from docker hub.

@MicahZoltu Can you show the list of images you obtained with docker images ?
@FrenchBen

hello-world:latest and node:4 and microsoft/dotnet are all official Docker Hub images, the ones starting with zoltu/ are personal Docker Hub images. The rest are locally built images.
@MicahZoltu Thanks for the info - I'll try to replicate on my end and will report back.
ps: it may be that it's bombing on the dangling images. Can you try to remove those?
docker rmi $(docker images -q -f "dangling=true")
2 years later and this still appears to be an issue
