My MR which implements a new image mounting dialog for Disks in has been merged 🎉

The new dialog allows not only to mount and view disk images, but also to edit, inspect, write or, if the disk image is already mounted, unmount it.

Thanks to @tbernard for the design and to @pothos for the review and help.

@FineFindus @tbernard @pothos very nice! Is it implemented as a plugin or through some dbus service?

@zeenix @tbernard @pothos it's a standalone binary, using udisks-rs, which is partly handported Rust and partly generated by zbus. That's why I worked on zbus-xmlgen awhile back.

@bugaevc @FineFindus @pothos maybe for binary, c is weak, c++ is damn. (vala is good, rust just hot)

@bugaevc No specific technical reason, I was just looking for a new Rust GTK project to work on, and @tbernard suggested GNOME Disks, since work on the GTK4 /redesign had not yet started at that time. @pothos suggested doing the image mounting dialog first, as it was a good testing ground to iron out some of the issues (e.g. porting the udisks client lib to Rust) and definitely needed some improvement.
