How to create an ISO image with k3b

Solved

Hello,

I would really like to know how, if possible, to create—note: to create, not to burn—an image ".iso" with K3b (I've seen on many forums that it could be done, but I haven't found anything that actually does it).

Thank you very much for your help...;-)
Configuration: Linux Ubuntu/Kubuntu Firefox 2.0.0.8

    Hi,

    in k3b, create a data project and in the "Burn" dialog / "Burn" tab, select "Create only an image".

    Hi,

    Personally I don’t think that’s possible, or at least I haven’t seen such an option in K3B’s menus. Nevertheless, creating an ISO image from GNU/Linux remains relatively very simple:

    Hi,

    Yes, I had that, you know... but thanks anyway... ;-)
    Better to do it in the command line than with k3b, think of the system resources.

    If you take shell completion into account, the command you type is quicker than the operations you’ll do with the mouse (opening k3b + finding the Menu, etc + the time for k3b to open)

    If it were up to lam i20j we would have PCs with that instead of mice :-D

    No I totally agree with him, it's true that it goes faster at the command bar but I just wanted to see the differences...

    The problem with this command is that it performs a binary copy... whereas k3b creates a real .iso file.

    fichier.iso is a binary file crée 2 fichier iso (un avec dd et l'autre avec k3b) ensuite tape et compare les résultats 
    file fichier_k3b.iso file fichier_dd.iso

    well, display the results of the 2 commands and I’ll tell you (with the condition that you have indeed created the 2 files ;-)

    Well I deleted them but the dd image was bigger than the one from k3b because it's a binary copy of the CD, so everything is copied, even the spaces, whereas with k3b only the files are copied...

    Ah, okay.

    In that case you should not use dd but mkisofs
    mkisofs -r -J fichier.iso /repertoire/avec/tes/fichiers

    because it's a binary copy
    it's a block copy after all (dd stands for DeviceToDevice)
    but know that with k3b you always get a binary file
