Search image feature <https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.13#search-image-feature> As you type, a list of likely images is now shown to help you find the right one and reduce typing. If you would like to search for a specific tag, just add : to the name. [image: search image] Updated empty state pages <https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.13#updated-empty-state-pages> We have updated the empty state pages for images, containers, pods, and Kubernetes. You can now pull your first image, create your first container or pod, all with only one click. [image: images empty page] New Kubernetes navigation <https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.13#new-kubernetes-navigation> As we grew our Kubernetes section and added new Kubernetes related pages, the navigation was becoming a bit crowded. For a better user experience, this release includes a new Kubernetes submenu with all the relevant pages in it. [image: Kubernetes menu] Image layer explorer extension <https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.13#image-layer-explorer-extension> You can now see each layer of any image you have in Podman Desktop using the Image Layers Explorer extension from the extensions catalog. After downloading the extension, choose any image from the available image list, go to the Files tab in the Image Details page, click on Fetch Layers, and start exploring. [image: Layer explorer] Docker compatibility mode page <https://podman-desktop.io/blog/podman-desktop-release-1.13#docker-compatibility-mode-page> Try out our new experimental Docker compatibility page where you can view information about the Docker compatibility mode.
