#35 ISO images

[s-r-grass]

Is it planned to support ISO images? Simply images in the IMG format are hard to find.

Actually, it already does do a certain extent (since 0.9.5). Somehow, I only documented the feature in the git commit and forgot to add it to the documentation. I'll add it to the readme for the next release. For now, I have added it to the wiki page.

Sorry for the confusion.

The method with the DiskImagerFiles variable worked so far for me. Changing the extension from .iso to .img should also have done it, right?

[Tobin Davis]

Yes. There is no change in the file type as far as Win32DiskImager is concerned. It only reads/writes raw binary data, regardless of actual file format.

I've been using it to load .wic (Open Embedded Image Creator) files without changing extension, just need to switch to the 'all files' mask to select them. I think any image type that is just 'dd' copied on linux would work.

It is able to handle ISO files just fine. the issue is that the open file by default asks for only bin and img format.
If you click on format and change it from
bin, img
to

*.*

you are then able to open it. it just needs an adjustment to allowed images format
