Hey! Sure, I really think I will do a video about this (should I post on Youtube or other platform, any advice?). Yes you should use Native Access 1. Basically what I do: - Edit `/etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf` - uncomment `[default]` - search the lines starting with `udf` - uncomment the one starting with `udf_defaults`, append `,unhide` at the end. - uncomment the one starting with `udf_allow` - save&exit

Then, when you download any library which contains ISO files, it will fails but no worries, the ISO is downloaded in you `~/Downloads` folder! The issue is related to Wine that can't show hidden files or something like this when mounting disks. So the solution, now that you reconfigured your default mounting options (I need this under Archlinux because udisks2 auto mount after creating a loop, if you dont have this issue you could just ignore the previous steps and manually mount the loop with the `unhide` parameter). So, you go find you ISO in your `~/Downloads`, then you open a terminal and you do: - `udisksctl loop-setup -f ~/Downloads/LIBRARY.iso` - Now you will have a newly mounted (if there is auto-mount) disk in your `/run/media/$USER` directory. - You go there, you will see inside there is an `LIBRARY_NAME.exe` - You do `wine LIBRARY_NAME.exe`. It will prompt some windows UI, you do next, install, etc.. - After if finished, you go in your Native Access and you click the refresh button and TADA its installed!

tips: unmount the disk afterwards. also you can restart native access between installs if you install a lot of them. I dont know why but sometimes it told me that I had not enough disk space for install but after restarting it it didnt complain anymore.

Here, I made a quick video to show the process. Sorry for the video quality, I am a bit tired its late in Taiwan. https://peertube.tw.chapuis.ovh/w/3CPvFXfuZ4i6Y7ea6V6etQ (dont mind the audio, I just put the first thing that came under my hand in my old harddrive, its just a microphone test I did, the pitch isn't great)(And NativeAccess didnt like that I put scaling 200x for the video recording in order to better see the text for the rest of the UI)

Hey, thank you very much for your detailed explanation plus even a video! Much appreciated! I'll try it asap. :)

My pleasure, please let me know if you still have any issues or if there is anything else I can help with!

I finally had time to try this, but support for mount_options.conf was added to udisks2 in version 2.9.0. Sadly the Linux distribution I'm using for audio stuff is still Ubuntu 20.04 which ships with udisks2 version 2.8.4.

So I manually remounted the loop device using mount -o remount,unhide /mountpoint and now I'm seeing the hidden files.

Again, thank you very much for your guide! :)
