Nautilus, mount ISO file with right-click menu

I don't know Arch Linux, but let me share what worked for me using openSUSE Leap 42.2 with GNOME 3.20.

openSUSE has a package called gnome-disk-utility. Installing it makes available the Disks app and the ability to mount ISO images from Nautilus.

With gnome-disk-utility installed, mounting an ISO image is an easy task:

1. Open Nautilus
2. Browse to an ISO file and right click on it
3. Click on Open With Other Application
4. Choose Disk Image Mounter
5. You will find the mounted image clicking on Other locations in the Nautilus sidebar

To unmount the image, just click on the Unmount icon towards its entry at Other locations.

Curiously, it seems that those same instructions apply to Ubuntu and Debian. I discovered Disks at Ask Ubuntu. So maybe Arch Linux has a package (or whatever you name it) called gnome-disk-utility too and you could try doing that.

I hope that helps anyone heading to this page (as did I).

[Edit] from Arch Linux Forums:

I just realized, there a thing called "gnome-disk-image-mounter" but for whatever reason it was hidden and I was unable to set it as default for images.

I think this is pretty much solved, thanks for your help.

If you are talking of mounting iso in gnome, then there is this link http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-isos-easely-in-gnome-nautilus.html

Or better

Download this nautilus-mount-image (tar.gz file) from http://mundogeek.net/nautilus-scripts/#nautilus-mount-image

This program adds a new entry to the contextual menu which allows us to mount and unmount the selected CD or DVD (iso) image. Its a python script actually as an extension to nautilus menu.

Extract the tar.gz file into a temporary directory and install the nautilus-mount-image.py script by running

$ gmake
$ gmake check
$ sudo gmake update-po
$ sudo gmake install

After this, try right click and check if the menu is updated or restart gnome (logoff and login). This menu option will be available for all users on the system.
