i Have some .ISO files, which i want to extract, although i don't want a Command-line for Extraction... Some days before whenever i right-Click on .ISO file, it give me an option ,something like "Archeive.." which i didn't remember Exactly,
but that tools allows me to extract file to destination..
So i want that option to come back.....


Any suggestions?

Can you try opening it with the archive manager. You could first open the archive manager and then use the open file option to select your file.

You'll have to mount the iso image then copy the contents to a new directory.

The command line option goes something like this:


mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /mount/locationBut an easier GUI way to do this is to get the program gmountiso and have it do the heavy lifting for you


sudo apt-get install gmountisoAll you have to do then is browse to and select the iso you want to mount and where you want to mount it the copy the contents out.

You can probably use Furius ISO Mount to mount it, and then you can use Nautilus to view the files.

Check Furius out using the terminal:

apt-cache show furiusisomount

Install using the terminal:

sudo apt-get install furiusisomount

search for file-roller
or run
sudo apt-get install file-roller
(confusing name, isn't it)

Install acetoneiso from the repository or better, a ppa for an up to date version. It has a function for extracting iso content to folder (and many more features)

Archive Manager is called "file-roller" in Synaptic. It is a piece of crap IMO. I use p7zip for archiving. It has a gui called Q7Z which you can download from sourceforge. Works much better.
