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

note: the database scan search is not recursive inside folders

- 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"
- if the name of the image is "correct" , it will download the cover and view it on the gui.
- you can save cover clicking on the appropriate button near it.
- after selecting the image to play, AcetoneISO will ask you to choose Method 1 or 2.
  Always select Method 1. If it fails to work, try Method 2.

note: for "correct" we mean something like "shrek 3.avi" and not "[en-divx shrek 3 dolby5.1].avi"
