Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
I'm unable to distinguish between pinned containers with the same name
Desired Solution
I'd like to see the Storage Account name shown, together with the container name, e.g. "storageaccount1/container1" instead of "container1"
Alternatives and Workarounds
Alternatively, or perhaps as a complement, consider feature request #2952
Additional Context
When multiple environments are required for a system, It is very common to end up with several storage accounts that share exactly the same structure (same containers). When working across those storage accounts, it's very convenient to pin the containers, however, at the moment it's impossible to differentiate between containers with the same name.
