Do GNOME and KDE come with a default application or function for mounting iso or other kind of images? If not, what would be a good application to install?
Thanks.
I got you covered with a bash script you can download: ISOMount - Allows you to mount and Browse ISO Files - Version 1.00 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums
I ask you read the blog for how it works. You can open up terminal, copy the next line in and press enter to get the bash script.
rm ~/bin/isomount ; wget -nc http://paste.opensuse.org/view/download/28322886 -O ~/bin/isomount ; chmod +x ~/bin/isomount
Thank You,
I would recommend AcetoneISO:
AcetoneISO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It’s available in the KDE:Extra repository.
And the basic functionality of course is included in the kernel, so yes, openSUSE does come with the possibility of mounting ISOs: 
sudo mount xxx.iso mountpoint

I tend to do this from a terminal window, fuseiso or “sudo mount -t
iso9660 [file] [mount point]” work fine for me.

@jdmcdaniel3:
Does it work on openSUSE 12.3, and will it on 13.1? What if I don’t want desktop icon?
@everyone else:
Sorry, I’m not familiar with the mount command… I’m a bit confused. For the case of mounting isos or other kind of cd/dvd images, what would be the actual syntax?
sudo mount xxx.iso mountpoint ??
sudo mount -t iso9660 [file] [mount point] ??
Is “iso9660” the actual type?
On mount point, can I specify any location?
Oh, and by using this command method, would it be equivalent to right-clicking the iso file and selecting “open with disk image mounter”?
Both is correct.
You don’t have to supply the -t option, mount should be able to determine the type itself.
Is “iso9660” the actual type?
For a CD ISO image, most of a time.
But it could also be udf.
On mount point, can I specify any location?
Yes, but it has to exist.
Oh, and by using this command method, would it be equivalent to right-clicking the iso file and selecting “open with disk image mounter”?
Yes.
When using GNOME, no icon is placed on the desktop, but should be in your application listings and is designed to work for you withing having to open up terminal and executing a command you no longer remember but open up terminal and input a single word terminal command to run.
Thank You,

You can mount isos or any type of images, since ever. It is a native
Linux functionality. CDs, DVDs, floppy images, hard disk images, etc.
> sudo mount xxx.iso mountpoint ??
yes

yes
> Is “iso9660” the actual type?
yes, but you don’t need supply it. It can be auto detected.
> On mount point, can I specify any location?
Any location at all, as long as it exists. It doesn’t need to be an
empty directory; however, the contents disappear from sight as you mount
the image.
Even more, you can write to the mounted system is it is RW, ie, not a
CD/DVD.
You can do things like create an image the size of a DVD in, say, msdos
format, and mount it RW; and later, burn that image to a DVD, which in
turn, can be opened in any linux system. Ie, you can create DVDs without
using the ISO format but any other format you choose. Even encrypted.

Thank you all. Actually I think someone taught me this in a nutshell time ago… But I needed to remember. Thanks.
Happy to hear of your success. Did you try out my bash script by chance?
Thank You,
No, mr Jdmcdaniel3. I first tried right-clicking iso file and open with disk image mounter. First time it gave me a very strange error of which I forgot to take snapshot… I think it was a read/write error, or kind of… And the Windows mount partition icons on the left side of Nautilus file manager disappeared. I tried again mounting the iso file and from this time on it worked, but first time was mounted 2 times, as if mounting the “failed” one.
So I wouldn’t consider a success. More of a “afraid of trying again”, and I didn’t try the script…

I see two options/applications on nautilus when i right click on ISOs
Archive mounter and Disk image mounter
Both seem to work but Disk mounter gives error for first time and mounts
it twice sometimes 
But if i unmount an mount it again it gets mounted
once

Yes, Disk Image Mounter option was the one I tried, and I forgot to say that first time there was error and Windows partitions icons were gone, then second time iso was mounted twice, and Windows partitions icons were there again. So you say it’s probably normal on Nautilus?
I don’t know how Archive Mounter works, or what differences it makes respect to Image Mounter or mount command… Oh, and in my case I see a 3rd option, File Roller.
The following line of text pasted into terminal will download the bash script.
rm ~/bin/isomount ; wget -nc http://paste.opensuse.org/view/download/28322886 -O ~/bin/isomount ; chmod +x ~/bin/isomount
The following terminal command will start the application.
isomount
Thank You,
I did read your blog entry completely, what I said is I didn’t try it yet due to what I described on Nautilus, though what mr Vazhavandan said was helpful.
Is your script based on what mount command does? I took a look at the script, and though I understood the first parts, the actual working I wasn’t able…

File roller is a archive manager. I doubt whether it will be able to
mount ISOs. I tend to ignore errors.

‘mc’ does. Mount them, I mean.
