Summary: Allow using iso images (via fuseiso) in drives setup @ winecfg. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.13 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: chalkerx@gmail.com
To mount an iso image to wine one should create a mountpoint, mount it manually there, and use wincfg to point wine to that directory. After reboot it must be done again (the mounting part).
If fuseiso in installed, it could be simplified to the user by allowing to point to an image file in winecfg, auto creating a drive_* folder and mounting an iso there via fuseiso on wine startup and unmounting on wine shutdown.
This would allow user to point a drive to an iso directly from gui and just once.

Windows doesn't support alomost all settings present in winecfg, such as winecfg drives settings.
Are there any difficulties with supporting image files? It would help a lot, when some drives (images) are needed to be used in wine only, and there is no reasons for mounting/unmounting them manually.

True, but that's because there's no way to do this outside of wine, which ISO handling can be done outside of.

Not necessarily, but why should wine implement it when your OS can do so already?
