I knew about Furius ISO Mount but it's completely Gnome dependent, and who really wants a big chunk of another desktop environment and yet another GUI application for a task that can be accomplished with two short commands? I'd seen someone else post somewhere about a fuseiso Thunar action but his action didn't allow mounting images outside of ~/ such as on external media (USB/SATA). So I Read The Fine Manual and realised it's actually very simple. One of the things I like a lot about Thunar is that its simplicity (which some people confuse with lack of ability) lets the user take great advantage of all those hundreds (thousands?) of command line utilities, all from within the file manager itself and in a completely customisable way. The magic is in the man pagesnabilalk wrote:@julian67: I registered just to say thanks for the Mount/Unmount images custom action. This is by far the easiest way to mount/unmount ISO images that I have found. What I especially like is that the image is mounted in the same location of the image file itself. Likewise, you are able to directly unmount the image from the same folder. This far and away beats using an app like FuriusISO or other custom actions that mount the image in /media. Thanks julian67
You're welcome, that's what this thread is all about. And I'm enjoying the info in everyone's contributions too. I started this thread because apart from the documentation kindly linked by ComputerBob I didn't find anything similar elsewhere that was very useful. There are plenty of posts in various places about one custom action or another but no coherent body of posts, so it seemed a good idea to try to prompt people to contribute and make a good collection that could serve as a useful resource.sir fer wrote:The mplayer one is a great idea, I have been struggling for a week to get it to repeat playlists and now it works. Also I was using PCmanFM , and I only wish thunar had tabs...oh well, maybe soon
thanks Julian

exitI'm not sure, reading the fusermount man page it doesn't look like it will accept multiples in one shot, and I don't remember if I tested that way originally (although knowing me I probably did). I'm pretty sure that I added the sleep 1 because otherwise it wasn't reliable back when I was originally setting this up, but that was quite a while ago (via nautilus).julian67 wrote:Looks good. I'd not considered mounting multiple images (quiet life I lead) but I'm wondering if much the same (less the automatic file manager open) can be accomplished by using the same action I posted but with %F instead of %f, or do you need the sleep 1 to keep it reliable?
If I read that right I can skip creating the mountpoint and simplify things as follows (untested as of now):-p
maintain mount point; create it if it does not exist and delete it

I think you just broke my brain.ComputerBob wrote:I've changed my Firefox to several different character encodings, but, in Nadir's posts, I see what looks like a tall, thin, capital letter "S" wearing a hat and a tail (instead of a dollar-sign), and the letter that immediately follows the first "S" looks like a circle with a triangle inside of it.
That occurs in Nadir's posts themselves, in Nadir's quoting of dbbolton's post, and in dbbolton's quoting of Nadir's posts, but it doesn't occur in dbbolton's original post.
So when Nadir posted that he used "xx instead of xx", they both look like the exact same code to me, and they're both unreadable.

I tried it again with set -x and no unexpected output. I suspect you may have either forgotten to set it executable, or it's executable but not in your path, or you have something in your .bashrc/aliases/functions which is conflicting. Or maybe you're trying to remove files/dirs for which you don't have write permissions.
