ISO image mounter application: Furius ISO Mount

I recently have started using Furius ISO Mount for mounting ISO images. I like it because it has a user friendly GUI and allows you to mount multiple images. Anyone have any other ISO apps that they prefer? I saw a post on the Ubuntu forums about some Nautilus scripts for mounting ISOs, however since I use Thunar, I don't think I can use these scripts. Just thought I would share this app with you guys. Does anyone have a favorite ISO mounting app that they prefer?

Edit: correction Furius not Furious

So for Thunar just create a custom action like:

xterm -e "sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 %f /mnt/iso_mount"

Is there a similar Thunar custom action for "Unmount"? Also, for the appearence tab, would it be other then "*ISO;*BIN*UIF"?

Re: ISO image mounter application: Furius ISO Mount

I think this should do it:

xterm -e "sudo umount /mnt/iso_mount"

As for your question the file pattern should be "*.iso".

xterm -e "sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 %f /mnt/iso_mount"

I added the custom action, and when attempting to mount an image file, xterm asked for my root password. After entering the password, I don't see the image mounted.  Where should the image appear when mounted? Also, is there a way to bypass xterm asking for the root password? Thanks.

Re: ISO image mounter application: Furius ISO Mount

Did you look under /mnt/iso_mount? If its not there, maybe you need to create the iso_mount folder.

To bypass sudo, maybe try mounting inside your home folder like:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 %f /home/username/iso_mount

Creating the the iso_mount folder in mnt did the trick. Also, creating an iso_mount folder in the /home/user folder also worked. Thanks anonymous. The only caveat to the process is that to unmount the image, you have to unmount the image image file and not the folder in iso_mount. That is cumbersome, but livable.
