Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2022-05-22 14:27:22 UTC
Showing a device that can be removed under 'Devices' instead of under 'Removable devices' is kind of confusing for me.
Comment 3 Kwon-Young Choi 2022-08-05 08:03:15 UTC
Hello,

Sorry for the very very late reply.

The fact that the iso is mounted under the section [Devices] instead of [Removal Devices] is expected.
As you have noticed, maybe it would be more logical to put it under [Removal Devices].

One thing that is not normal is that when the device is shown on the left panel of Dolphin, it should either have a small unmounted icon or a mounted arrow icon.
Can you still reproduce this bug ?
Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2022-08-05 11:58:54 UTC
yes, I can reproduce on neon unstable.

Does this happen for any iso you have?
If not, could you send me an example file?
Comment 6 Kwon-Young Choi 2022-08-05 13:10:21 UTC
And also, where are the iso files located ?
There is a known bug where if the iso file is on an NTFS mounted drive, the mounted device does not show without a dolphin restart.

Are you able to mount and unmount the iso file via the file contextual menu ? via the device contextual menu in dolphin [Devices] panel ?
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2022-08-05 13:53:51 UTC
I have two ISOs, can reproduce with both:
Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso
manjaro-sway-21.0-210428-linux510.iso

The ISOs are mounted as non-removable devices regardless of whether the ISO files are located on an ntfs partition or on an EXT4.

Also regardless  where the ISOs are located, I'm always able to mount and unmount them via context menu of the files. I can also unmount the ISOs via the context menu of the Places panel, but in this case the ISOs are not removed from 'Devices' section.

Okay, so all of this is expected behavior.

Are the little mounted and unmounted icons still missing ?
Comment 9 Patrick Silva 2022-08-05 14:10:19 UTC
I see an icon to unmount the ISO.

I told Dolphin to mount. a Linux extended file system image.  It is mounted as /run/media/dell/a989c07e-66b2-42a5-b021-d2e17f8468a8/.  However, it does not appear in Places (or in the removable devices tray widget).

The new place appears only after reopening Dolphin.
