In my world, nothing is “easy” if it requires to write a script. It doesnt matter how easily understood the script is.

Its “easy” if it requires a right click menu choice.

Hi, thanks a lot for the scripts. They work nicely. Great work.

However, there are few little mistakes that are easy to fix: in the second script, there’s one “done” too much and it’s “exit 0″ not “exit0″. Then, in both scripts, if you copy directly, the line ends are not correct and the double quotation marks are not the correct ones (do they come from some windows program?).

Thanks guys. I was searching for a GUI program, but this is just as good, if not better.

Andrea: I’m guessing your trying to make a launcher for the mounted image?
Right-click on your desktop, select ‘Create Launcher’, then add the appropriate information (I believe the command would be “nautilus /mnt/imageloop”, without the quotes.), then click the icon box in the top left and pick an icon.
If not, google around or ask on your distro’s support forums. (ubuntuforums.org for me)

How do I create an icon in nautilus an image mounted in /mnt/imageloop ?
I can not move the mount point on /media

Also, no need to ctrl-alt-backspace, just kill nautilus and it’ll restart automatically.

I mounted yo’ mama in Linux. It didn’t take no script, just some Pabst Blue Ribbon.

These scripts didn’t work for me at all on Gutsy. But I fixed them.

mount_iso:
#!/bin/bash

for I in “$@”
do
if [ ! -e /media/"${I%.iso}" ]
then gksudo mkdir /media/”${I%.iso}”
fi
if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 “$I” /media/”${I%.iso}”
then
nautilus --no-desktop /media/”${I%.iso}”
exit 0
else
gksudo rmdir /media/”${I%.iso}”
zenity --error --title “ISO Mounter” --text “Cannot mount $I!”
exit 1
fi
done

unmount_iso:
#!/bin/bash

for I in “$@”
do
I=”${I%.volume}”
gksudo umount /media/”$I”
gksudo rmdir /media/”$I”
done
exit 0
