[08-26-11 15:02]: One thing that was nice in OS X was the ease of mounting an image as a virtual disk. I rarely had use for this however until I got a netbook, which has no optical drive. Now when I have hoped to install certain games (running on WINE) this is unnecessarilly complicated, if not impossible due to the lack of optical drive and the lack of an easy mounting option. Can we be sure to add an easy way to mount disk images? Maybe just right click>mount image in Dolphin? I don't imagine it should be very hard to implement, and would be very useful... especially as more users are turning to netbooks and similar devices.
well, it is very simple but not point-and-click...
mount -o loop -t iso9660<isofilename> <mountpoint>
further help available.
I have no doubt that a script for Konqueror or Dolphin could be set up. I've done that for the tools for PDFs ..
Oh wait! Right-click on a .iso ... -> Actions -> browse iso
Oh look! I wonder how that got there? Well thanks for the constructive sarcasm. But I said MOUNT an image. Browsing is great, unless you need a virtual drive. There is some software that needs to see the disk in order to allow it to install. Virtual drive does this, by mounting the ISO which makes the system see it as a drive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
