GUI tool to extract iso file contents on Linux (KDE)

Question

I have an ISO CD image file and want to extract it's contents to a folder. I know there are ways to mount the image and stuff, but it's complicated.

I'm looking for a GUI tool to open up the contets and extract needed files. On windows I would use WinRar to do this. K3B only allows me to burn the stuff, Arch does not work with ISO files :(

Is there a similar tool on Linux, preferably from KDE world?

Answer 1

I believe mounting the iso is the best way to go, mount it and copy the files that you want, the command is:

mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk

keep in mind that you can create a shortcut, scripts or even a shell extension (right click menu) to run the above command for you.

Answer 2

AcetoneISO will let you extract ISO contents and works under GNOME and KDE.

It requires kommander to be installed. Full install directions can be found here.

Answer 3

I used ArchLinux with kde complete DE and as I can remember it would be enough to click on the iso image to get it auto-mounted: am I wrong?

Answer 4

Under Fedora and Gnome i done in once with gvfs. gvfs-archive must do it. may be gvfs-fuse +fuse-iso

Answer 5

The Gnome File Roller did the job perfectly. Too bad Ark (KDE compress/decompress tool) has no ISO support.

Answer 6

Try "isomaster". I use it in Debian Squeeze.
