Mounting images from files

Hello team, thanks for the good software!
Have a feature request.

How about mounting the images from files?
When I'm trying to mount an image from files now, then I get an error:

Code: Select all

This image contains no partitions that can be connected to the system.
Mounting discs is very convenient and it will be great if you add this feature.
For example, you can make an option to create a virtual partition on creating image from files.

You can mount images as disks: Mount an Image as a Virtual Logical Disk. Such image file should be a copy of a real partition with all its attributes.
You can create images from individual files: Create an Image from Files.

Yes, I know. But I can mount only images created from partitions, not from individual files. So, I requested a feature to mount images from files as logical disks.

You can't mount anything that doesn't have a valid file system, that is, a partition. If you need access to certain files in an image created from individual files, Restore Data from an Image -> Restoring selected files and folders.
