Do you not see the Mount ISO option?
Edit: Apparently you need the dolphin-plugins package to see the Mount option
Thanks...I can see it, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I click on it...and nothing happens. Is it supposed to mount in /media/myuser? or where?
It should go under Devices on the left
Thanks...I think somehow it mounted in /media/myuser/iso_filename (and I missed it), but it definitely didn't show as an additional device.
For me, after mounting, it doesn't appear at the left menu, but it is mounted. I have to open a new dolphin window to see it there. Same for unmouting. Only happens withs iso I think.
Thanks... I think I'm the same.
Works with the arch.iso, not with anything large though.. (this is not a kde problem, the mount command itself is not quite ready for the new millenium xd )

According to the internet this is default since dolphin 20.08.0
You may need to install dolphin-plugins if it's not installed.
For what purpose do you want to mount the .iso file? Ark can open it as an archive and extract any contained file.
That... is not very useful. If you have a 100GB .iso (as some recent games) that you need to install, you now need 100GB x 3. The .iso, the extracted folder, then the installation. I'd rather have the simple easy step any other OS allows, which is to mount the iso for reading.
@iturnedintoanewt @e_t_ ark can allow you to only extract a specific file or folder from an iso, not the whole iso.
Yes. But when you install a game that is in an iso, you need to extract everything, because everything gets copied during the install. The years of the main install files being copied and the video files kept on the .iso are very very long gone. So again, this is not a useful method unless .iso files are rather small, and when they are, it's still extra steps.
