Hiding some kernelspecs from menu

[Andreas Hilboll]

Dear Jupyter experts,

when on the Notebook interface I click on "New"; I see a dropdown-list
of all installed kernelspecs. Is there any way I can hide all
kernelspecs except for a list of "favorite" kernels? I'm thinking of
just seeing the 'favorite' kernels in the dropdown list, which should
also include a "More ..." entry, which again opens a sub-dropdown
listing all installed kernels.

The motivation is that I would like to provide to our cluster users
(we're using Jupyterhub) frequent updates on default Python
environments, which would make the list of all installed kernelspecs
long. However, users should be able to still use older kernelspecs if
they really want to.

I hope I made clear what I'm thinking of ...

Sunny greetings,
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

You can whitelist some of the installed kernels by configuring KernelSpecManager.whitelist , but this will completely disable any that aren't on the whitelist. I don't think there's currently any way to highlight certain kernels in the UI while still making others available. There's no reason we couldn't add that, though.

Which would be the correct repository to create an issue for this?

jupyter/notebook, since it's a UI matter.
