Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Could be a limitation of the narrowness of the default "Type" in nautilus. They have the possibility for a detailed type, just not enabled though can easily be done with small non-invasive patch. Screen shows the diff between the 2

Confirmed on Ubuntu 17.10. The Files 3.28 Flatpak has this bug fixed by calling the Type of ISOs 'Other' and you can get more info on the Types with the 'Type (Detailed)' column. Ubuntu 18.04 is shipping with Files 3.26, however, so this bug still applies to Ubuntu.

I filed a bug upstream here but immediately closed it when I realized that the new behavior is intended and makes sense: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/356

On Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04:

```
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --from gnome-apps-nightly https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome-apps-nightly.flatpakrepo
flatpak install gnome-apps-nightly org.gnome.Nautilus/x86_64/master
nautilus --quit
flatpak run org.gnome.Nautilus
```

If you think this is still an issue on Files 3.28 then comment on my issue and I may reopen it :)

If Ubuntu wanted to add this to 3.26 it's rather trivial

I think Ubuntu should stick with upstream here really, so I'd suggest attaching that patch on the upstream bug (and then I'll re-open the bug) if you think the behaviour should be changed, but given they gave the Expected Behaviour tag to my closed bug I think the matter is closed.

It's not an issue upstream, but sounds like Doug's suggestion to backport the feature to 3.26 (still used up to Ubuntu 18.10) might be a good idea.
