thanks Vincent, its not a bug but a feature request. I realize the
mission of thunar or xubuntu is to stay lean and mean.

I guess I was just hoping it would be simpler. I can't get the scripts
I found to work in the custom actions dialogue although I did figure out
how to associate the right click action with iso images.

I will have to study up later and figure out how xubuntu is able to show
the dvd icon on the desktop and even mount it with a right click....or
maybe that was a script I added. It seems like I could copy that same
script but make it apply to .isos rather than dvdrom...

I just want to set up a two click system where I can load a DVD disc
causing a menu to pop up and ask me if I want to image it to my DVD
storage directory. Then once its imaged, I'd like to be able to double
click on he dvd .iso files and have it mount or whatever is needed and
automatically launch the player. I thought the iso format was the
closest to looking just like the dvd and therefore could be played in
any player by mounting it as a virtual disc like I do with Daemon Tools
in windows.

It may not be a common thing people like to do.... I don't know.

Thanks anyway though.
