Describe command could use an auto refresh option

Great work on the new updates, it’s been a huge productivity win!

I really like the new describe how it outputs to the editor window vs the terminal.

When I’m troubleshooting container start ups, I find myself re-clicking describe over and over. It would be great if there was a capability to auto refresh describe on a specified interval (it would stop once the editor window was closed by the user)

Could be accomplished either by:

• User config (describeAutoRefresh & describeAutoRefreshInterval`)
• Separate context menu (Describe - auto refresh)

Hmm, this one might take some pondering. I worry about using global config for things where I think users will often really want the behaviour to depend on context, but I take your point about configuring the default. And thinking further about it, I’m not sure we want the clutter of a toolbar-style UI just for a Describe which should have more of an editor window feel.

Yeah, I think briefly highlighting stuff that has changed is more sensible than a diff view. I just wanted to avoid having to do any work. grin

Now I have bizarre fantasies of an ‘auto diff’ view where every time it auto refreshes it shows you the diff from the previous description. SEND HELP
