Suggestion: Show public images by default
Hi, I think the required --public flag for doctl image list is a bit counterintuitive. It seems to have tripped up others in the past and this was changed for list-distribution and list-application in #280.
I think it is a better UX for a list command to list all resources and then you should opt in to filtering them if you want. This would also match the behavior of list-distribution and list-application. Moreover, newcomers to the CLI are probably using image list to find an image slug to use in other commands, so making --public=true the default will help this beginner use case.
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a real preference myself but I just wanted to note that the current behavior is consistent with the cloud control panel.
That's fair, internal consistency is good. Although the cloud control panel doesn't have an option to list public images at all. I guess what I'm saying is the CLI doesn't need to mimic the UI exactly - they have different use cases.
Anyway, it's a very small suggestion. If y'all have no preference please feel free to close out the issue 😊- Just wanted to share a thought I had getting started with the CLI, in case you found it helpful.
