Feature description:

Add an context menu to ISO files: Actions > Mount

Currently, most users have to use command line to mount a ISO file. This is not that convenient. Hope Dolphin can provide such a function.

Thanks!

This is provided by a service menu addition, see https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=223&t=109287

As the forum post said, it is a very useful function. Most users do not even know how to install service menu addition. (I tried to download the addition but nothing happened)

It is better to provide build-in support for that, rather than an addition that requires download. This reduce a lot of pain of searching solutions.

MS Windows 10 finally provides this function in its file browser. So I think we can add it, too.

There is already an old request for this.
