GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 103817
Ability to open bin/cue and iso files
Last modified: 2012-08-12 14:10:33 UTC
I think it would be great if Nautilus could handle browsing of iso and bin/cue files without the user to be required to mount these to a looping resource. I'm pretty sure you could talk to the guys at http://www.daemon-tools.net/ with help to support different image formats.

At least adding support for standard .iso files would be great. Not all people know how to use fstab.

Shipping this nautilus plugin by default would fix this bug I guess: http://mundogeek.net/nautilus-scripts/#nautilus-mount-image Please think about this as it's a great feature that doesn't clutter the interface
This bug should be solvable with the new GVFS shouldn't it?
There's already code to open archive files using libarchive in gvfs (and it supports ISO files: http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/libarchive-formats.5.txt). Benjamin, is there any UI for this yet?
GVFS 2.22.1 has the ability to mount archives, but adding UI for it breaks string, feature and maybe UI freeze. So it will either land in 2.22.1 or 2.24. See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2008-March/msg00061.html for details.
Benjamin: I've read the whole thread about your patch on nautilus mailing lists and I think an acceptable compromise would be to only list disk image mime types in the desktop file in case others vote the new feature as too confusing for 2.22.1. It's the biggest part of the use cases anyway and a more general solution can wait for the next release.
Just letting you know, bug 442191 is a duplicate of this one. Will dmg files be supported? Recently I installed Linux on a Mac and to my surprise not only did the HFS+ mount fine but it seems to be fully supported (read-only).

They can be compressed and encrypted, and adding support for them would require an HFS+ filesystem in a gvfs plugin, as well as support for those additional features.
The Archive Mounter can do this. Marking fixed.
