FAQ:
- will AcetoneISO mount multi sector images?
No, it won't. Also, it won't emulate any copyproction like Daemon Tools.
- I'm running on a 64bit OS, and I can't convert images.
You must be sure to have ia32libs package installed.
- When converting to ISO an image, will it do a 1:1 copy?
No, you will loose all tracks of the image. Only first track will be converted to ISO. This is due to ISO specifications.

First things to know:
- in order to mount, AcetoneISO uses fuseiso. this depends on fuse filesystem. Your user must be added to the fuse group.
- depending on the AcetoneISO package you installed, this process might have been done in automatic during installation,
if this is not the case, open a terminal, login as root and type:
modprobe fuse
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/fusermount (may be /bin/fusermount depending on distro)
chmod o+rw /dev/fuse
addgroup <your-user> fuse (ex. addgroup johndoe fuse)
Mount feature:
- simply click on mount button and select the supported images.
- after mounting, the image name and size will appear on the interactive display.
- a supported file manager will automatically open the folder mounted.
- if you close the file manager, you can quickly click on the display to reopen the mounted image in the file manager.
note: the default file manager is kde (konqueror or dolphin). you can select nautilus under "File -> Options".
note2: images are mounted in $home/virtual-drives/n , where n starts at n=1 and has a maximum of n=7
note3: if receiving an error after mount, it can mean that the image is a multisector and is not supported.
it also can mean that the image is corrupted.
SOLUTION: convert the image or extract it to a folder (see Convertions section)
note4: there is currently no support for ISO images created with UDF filesystem.
the mount probably won't fail but most of the files will disappear.
Database feature:
- this feature is meant for people that have to manage with a lot of images.
- set the database folder and all the images will appear on display
- you can choose if you want to enable recursive scan inside subdirectories.
note: if you enable recursive scan, avoid setting database root folder directly to your home or system paths.
- simply click on the database display to quickly mount the image.
- the mounted image will act like a normal mount. It will open in the file manager and view on main display.
- you can also delete an image with "delete image" button.
Play feature:
- this feature will make you play an ISO of a DVD film.
- the default player is kaffeine. you can change this under "File -> Options"
