Note:

When attempting to use the “unmount.sh” script the first try, the mount point stayed in left-hand-side column inside nautilus listing devices. To get nautilus to recognize I had unmounted the drive, I flailed around with commands, &, in the process, attempted unmount from Desktop after closing nautilus. Then I dragged to trash. Then I open back up nautilus and mount point still visible along left side, but, I go back to the ISO in question, rightclick it and goto unmount.sh, and then it unmount clean and POOF mountpoint dissapear from left-hand-side device list inside nautilus. Why did it do this? Anyone know?

Corrections:

Now I can [EASILY, Without having to open a terminal] scan ISOs for virus before burning them off.

Works! ***w3rkZ!***
Running- Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid on brand new hardware (CompizFusion powered on Of Course).

The above steps are easier if you have already installed the Nautilus-Scripts. After installing Nautilus-Scripts you will see the correct location to place these above “mount.sh” and “unmount.sh” scripts into. Place the two mount shell scripts in there (~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts). Then select them both, right click them, goto Properties. Goto Permissions. Make sure the box is checked for ALLOW EXECUTION AS A PROGRAM. Then goto OK so that it saves changes of course. Then goto all open Nautilus windows (all open file browsers) and REFRESH the window so that it reloads your rightclick scripts!!! Easy.

Thank a billion!

Never mind. The problem was - surprise! - a space in the file name! XD

I get “Cannot mount”. What could be the problem?

Please note that in Intrepid a right-click with ‘open with Archive Mounter’ does the job now.

I had to change the quotes to straight quotes to make the script run. A quick “replace all” in gedit did the trick.

I’ve created my own, 1-file solution. While not as fancy as some, it DOES support writing to the files, it DOES support spaces in the file name or directory, it DOES notify you if it worked or not, and it DOES work for different types of images (definitely ISO and floppy images, most likely others).

It’s located at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52255 (the very last script on the second post).
