R. Dierick <o.dierick(a)piezo-forte.be> --- Hello, 1) I can anticipate negative response from the developers: They are reluctant to add a dependency to external tools, especially for an operation that should be straightforward for the user to do. 2) On my system, Wine always auto-detects loop devices and sets a drive letter for them, regardless of the mounting tool I used (udisksctl or mount on the command line, gnome-disk-image-mounter from the graphical file manager). It appears from bug 56087 that on your system, Wine fails to detect and set a drive letter in any case. That is the problem you're facing and this is what should be investigated.

Hello,
1) I can anticipate negative response from the developers: They are reluctant to add a dependency to external tools, especially for an operation that should be straightforward for the user to do.
2) On my system, Wine always auto-detects loop devices and sets a drive letter for them, regardless of the mounting tool I used (udisksctl or mount on the command line, gnome-disk-image-mounter from the graphical file manager).
It appears from bug 56087 that on your system, Wine fails to detect and set a drive letter in any case. That is the problem you're facing and this is what should be investigated.
Regards.
1) I agree adding a dependency could be an issue. Can this be implemented as a optional dependency? Wine could check for a list of common iso tools, and use one if the user has installed. Wine could also list it as an optional dependency at install time. I don't know how much work this is, and if it's worth the time to implement it. 2) I'll investigate when wine does, and wine doesn't detect the CD on my system. I'll file a new bug for that, as it would be off topic here. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
