Different project names

When using docker-compose-ui on existing docker-compose.yml it should be able to detect projects started with different "project name", (docker-compose flag --project-name, -p), be able to list them and maybe switch between them, or at least give the used the option to specify the project name somehow on startup.

I think this is not straightforward since AFAIK there's no docker-compose command to list the "project names", but It may be a nice feature for docker-compose-ui anyway.

Hello @andresvia
the only solution I could think of is to list all docker container (sort of docker ps) and then inspect each one docker inspect ID --format '{{index .Config.Labels "com.docker.compose.project"}}'

The problem of this approach is that there is no way to know what is the corresponding docker-compose.yml file for a given project name (this should be managed by docker-compose-ui).

so while it could be technically possible, it could limit the interoperability with docker-compose CLI.

could you please explain me in detail what is your current use case to need this feature?
