  <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      <command>gnome-disk-image-mounter</command> can be used to set
      up disk images. Both regular files and <emphasis>GVfs</emphasis>
      URIs (such as <filename>smb://filer/media/file.iso</filename>)
      can be used in the <parameter>URI</parameter> parameter. If no
      <parameter>URI</parameter>s are given and a window server is
      running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.
    </para>
    <para>
      Note that <command>gnome-disk-image-mounter</command> will not
      mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image
      - this responsibility is left to the automounter in GNOME Shell
      to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image
      was a regular physical device or disc.
    </para>
    <para>
      By default the disk images are attached read-only, use
      the option <option>--writable</option> to change this.
    </para>
