When content of ~/.docker/config.json contains an override for imagesFormat, the docker images command still uses the "pretty" format.
Reproduce

- add this content to
~/.docker/config.json
{
"imagesFormat": "table"
}- run
docker pull hello-world && echo "==========" && docker images - observe "pretty" format
