Try it with an Installation ISO from openSUSE?
Otherwise doubleclick on the loop0p1?

@Sauerland :
Tried with 4 ISOs:
openSUSE NET installer
Proxmox VE
Acronis True Image boot ISO
Slitaz-rolling
Results:
Only the first two worked as expected, like in your 2nd screenshot from here; the other two showed nothing at all in the âPlacesâ left panel of your screenshot after mounting, nothing to click on.
Stuff in common I found between ISOs:
The first 2 working ones have two partitions as shown by âlsblkâ output; probably one partition is the ESP one, but Mount only mounts the data partition by default.
The other non-working ones only have 1 single partition, the data one.
By using the mounting service described in OP, which does nothing more than using âfuseisoâ and âfusermount -uâ, it also mounts only the data partitions, but Acronis and Slitaz ISOs do work in this one.
Now this is far more confusingâŚ
âŚAnything else? Or bug report?
Mount slitaz and see in ~/virtual-drives/
fuseiso on /home/stephan/virtual-drives/1 type fuse.fuseiso (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100)
Oops this was because of mounting with AcetoneISO.
Its also an Programm to mount an ISO.
I do not know where it is mounted.
Its not mounted, only a loop0 device is added:
Sep 01 17:57:04 linux64 thunar-volman[17220]: tvm_block_device_added: non-removable device ignored
Sep 01 17:57:04 linux64 udisksd[2141]: Set up loop device /dev/loop0 (backed by /home/stephan/Downloads/slitaz-rolling/slitaz-rolling.iso)

Now you could mount it:

Then what a coincidence, we found a non-obvious failure in KDEâs dolphin-plugins.
It should mount all ISOs equally, not just some.
It should not be necessary to use rootâs mount command.
Do you think bugzilla would be willing to listen?
I do not know.
Because the other ISOs are mountingâŚ
Turns that itâs not just dolphin-plugins, but seemingly same situation in the other DEs; just tried in GNOME and XFCEâŚ
On those the right-click options â{,Un}Mountâ are there out of the box without installing additional packages.
But the results were the exact same for Acronis and Slitaz ISOs.
Manually mounting the Slitaz ISO on loop0p1 device with root mount surprisingly gave only its ESP, since it only has an EFI directory; so in the end they all do have 2 partitionsâŚ
I researched a bit more, and seemingly all file browser default mounting options on all DEs are just based on udisks2 usage, which seems to often try mounting the ESP partition instead of data one (depending on the ISO in question), and ESPs by default are never automatically mounted. Udisks2 also has the annoying detail of generating /dev/loop[0-7] devices for free which are not removed after unmounting ISO stuff, but only after rebooting system.
Would someone else here be able to recreate all this stuff by chance?
If successful, could someone elaborate a bit more on this?
Thanks.

Did you look which device gets mounted with openSUSE ISO? On KDE the actual mounted device is partition 2 (/dev/loo0p2). So I suspect the reason nothing is mounted with the second ISO is the lack of partition covering âfull deviceâ. Actually, udisks refuses to mount /dev/loop0 for openSUSE ISO.
I also doubt mounting full SLITAZ image is useful. Judging by the size of the image and the ESP, all data is in ESP anyway and will not be visible when you mount image as ISO (it will appear empty).
@arvidjaar
As I mentioned back here:
So, for openSUSE ISO, the device mounted by Dolphin is of course loop0p2; loop0p1 would forcibly need rootâs mount command.
Regarding Slitaz on /dev/loop1p1:

Fuseiso/fuser tools have no problems in mounting Slitaz ISOâŚ
You probably misunderstand what happens. The second partition on openSUSE images is mounted by accident, not intentionally.
The mount action from doplhin-plugins does not mount anything. It creates loop device via udisks, fetches UUID of the filesystem on this device and asks KDE removable devices manager to mount filesystem with this UUID.
udisks does not support mounting of block device with partitions (technically, such block device will not have Filesystem interface). But openSUSE ISO images are hybrid images and have partition which spans the whole device, so KDE finds partition with this UUID and mounts it.
Other images you showed are not hybrid, so udisks does not export mountable block device with needed UUID and nothing is mounted.
IMNSHO it is a bug in dolphin-plugins. If user asks to mount ISO image, this action should setup ISO image, not hard drive image. udisks has option to skip partition scan on loop device (D-Bus API has it since 10 years at least; udisksctl just gained it a couple of weeks ago, so the following example is using locally compiled binary):
user@uefi:~/udisks2> ./usr/bin/udisksctl loop-setup --no-partition-scan --read-only --file ../openSUSE-Leap-15.5-NET-x86_64-Build491.1-Media.iso
Mapped file ../openSUSE-Leap-15.5-NET-x86_64-Build491.1-Media.iso as /dev/loop0.
user@uefi:~/udisks2> lsblk -f

So KDE automatically mounted /dev/loop0 when it appeared and Dolphin shows the correct icon:

Sorry, I do not understand what those commands are supposed to prove.
I have no idea what this means either. They mount ISO? They mount partition 1 on this âISOâ?
And again, what does it prove? I can also mount ISO using plain mount. How is it related to the behavior of dolphin-plugins?
Is it worth to tell bugzilla about this, or will this be ignored as always?
Regarding the other stuff, I just wanted to compare mount and fuseiso with dolphin-plugins, but you already explained itâs a bug in dolphin-plugins⌠Thanks.
Do not confuse packagers with developers. It is not a packaging bug. If you want to report it, report where it belongs - upstream.
Ok, thanks very much sir.
Then, to finalize once and for all, a brief offtopic doubt regarding bug reporting,
This one
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1214475
was utterly ignored; but I did search and found that âpackage updaterâ component is not part of XFCE desktop in that case, so reporting to upstream XFCE was not right anyways.
Package updater is certainly from openSUSE side, so why was it regarded as not valid?
@arvidjaar :
Forgot to mention:
In that case it would not be just reporting to KDE, but either to all upstream desktop environments, udisks2 itself, or openSUSEâs bugzilla indeed?
Because I also mentioned that itâs not just dolphin-plugins in KDE, but also file browsers in the other desktop environments (namely XFCE and GNOME). All of them base this functionality on udisks2.
