Description

Description

Currently when user open docker compose file, he have ability to run services from within docker compose file (actions like Run All Services or Run Service).
It would be nice to have additional actions for Build All Services and Build Service, as projects might have multiple docker compose files, and to build one or two of them user need to run docker compose --file ... build manually for each of them.
