Menu item for embedding ISO in KDE Dolphin no longer exists after update.

Help

Hi KDE community,

for about 5 days now, the Mount ISO menu item under KDE Dolphin has no longer been available under Manjaro and EndeavourOS.
I have installed the current Dolphin plugin 23.08.2-2 for both Linux distros.
I can select from Dolphin’s context menu that I want to mount ISO and disk images.
Nevertheless, when I mark an ISO file in the home directory or external hard drives, this menu item is not there.

This problem occurs on two different laptops. One laptop has Manjaro installed and the other laptop has EndeavourOS installed.
I have since reinstalled EndeavourOS to test, without success. The ISO Mount menu entry is still missing in Dolphin.

My system:
KDE Plasma version 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks version: 5.110.0
Qt version: 5.15.11
Kernel version: 6.5.7-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics platform: X11 with Manjaro and Wayland with EndevourOS.

I would like to thank you in advance for your support.

You should probably report this in https://bugs.kde.org . The devs will be able to deal with it more efficiently from there.

I’m also encountering this error. The option is enabled in Configure > Configure Dolphin > Context Menu, but doesn’t actually appear in the Context Menu for any ISO or other disk image.

Did you ever open a bug on this? I searched the bug tracker and didn’t see anything relevant pop up.

Edit:
I’m on Manjaro unstable, and after upgrading

shared-mime-info to 2.4-1,
and dolphin-plugins to 23.08.3-2,

It seems that contextual menu entry is finally back.

NB: you should close all Dolphin instances after upgrading.
