Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I think it might be handy to have a mount option in the context menu for .iso files..
There already is a servicemenu for doing this on kde-look.org
This option should come by default for ease use to anyone (like at Mac OS's Finder).
I didn't realize MacOS X could already do this! Then it should be by default in KDE as well.
It would be possible to mount any type image? Cue Sheet too, at least.
> It would be possible to mount any type image? If Linux (Or Windows now that KDE is cross-platform) can mount it, then it should have the option in my opinion.
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

None of the plasmoids I've found that purport to do this actually still work today in 2017.

Er, add-ons, not plasmoids.

See also kde_cdemu, a KDE client for CDEmu. It adds an option "Mount image" into Actions context menu. After mounting plasma shows me a menu with CD actions, just like it's a real CD. The drawback is that it requires additional dependency and kernel module.
kde_cdemu does not work on Arch Linux. Notthing happens when I use "Mount image" option from context menu.
Right, I tested them all recently and couldn't find one that actually worked. IMHO we need this functionality built-in, not provided by unstable 3rd-party code.
Is using udisks an option?
Linux Mint has this through fuseiso http://awen.dk/dist/kde-service-menu-fuseiso/ http://awen.dk/dist/kde-service-menu-fuseiso/ Is using fuse an option?

I had a look at smb4k: what about using KAuth?
What about using fuseiso as suggested, and make dolphin also list fuse mounts? I may try to propose a patch if there is nothing against it.
That makes sense, especially because the fuse-kio system is being revitalized and worked on as a Google Summer of Code project. So showing FUSE volumes in Dolphin would be quite worthwhile in general IMO. But not just Dolphin; make sure they're visible to all users of the Solid framework so they show up in the file dialogs' Places Panel and Plasma's Device Notifier. Feel free to work on this and submit a patch!

Actually I was also about to start looking into listing fuse mounts in Dolphin as well :D But if you are working on it I will wait for now. Please ping when/if you patches for this I will be happy to help out as much as possible.
I'm not an experienced KDE dev and I cannot guarantee I can provide patches shortly. I just started to look into the projects I need to patch, haven't written anything yet. If you want to take over there is no problem for me.
No problem, I will take a stab at it then :D

I use them both.
Has anyone made any patches for this? What's missing in KIO for this feature to hook into?

Git commit f7f2f62606f8cfa87ec23d5924b70d4b419234e1 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Kwon-Young Choi. Committed on 25/05/2020 at 17:52. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Implement mount ISO service plugin for Dolphin The mountiso plugin adds a contextual menu entry for .iso files to either mounting or unmounting the file as a loopback device depending on the mount state. This plugin uses udisksctl to either mount or unmount the iso file. It also uses losetup to check if an iso file is already mounted FIXED-IN: 20.08.0 M +5 -0 CMakeLists.txt A +12 -0 mountiso/CMakeLists.txt A +184 -0 mountiso/mountisoaction.cpp [License: GPL (v2+)] A +65 -0 mountiso/mountisoaction.h [License: GPL (v2+)] A +13 -0 mountiso/mountisoaction.json M +2 -2 org.kde.dolphin-plugins.metainfo.xml https://invent.kde.org/sdk/dolphin-plugins/commit/f7f2f62606f8cfa87ec23d5924b70d4b419234e1
