Show HN: A Cross-Platform ISO Editor (ISO9660/Joliet/UDF/Rock Ridge)

https://www.vioware.com/iso_editor.html
2•howardshaw•1mo ago
Hi HN, I built VIO ISO Editor, a cross-platform GUI app for creating and editing ISO images on Windows 10/11 and macOS 10+.

Why I built it: I often need to ship release artifacts for users across different OSes, and ISO compatibility gets tricky fast (Unicode filenames, large files, UNIX perms, and “what mounts cleanly where”). I wanted a single tool that lets me author one image with the right filesystem mix for cross-platform distribution.

What it does: Create new ISOs: start a new project → set volume/publisher identifiers → choose standards → drag & drop files/folders → build the image (with progress shown). Edit existing ISOs: open an ISO and add/replace/delete content, update properties/standards, then save/build the updated image.

Standards support (and you can master multiple standards into one ISO for compatibility): ISO9660 + Joliet (long/Unicode filenames) UDF 2.60 (e.g. files > 4GB) Rock Ridge 1.09 (UNIX permissions/attributes)

Feedback/questions I’d love help with: For cross-platform distribution, what compatibility edge cases should I test (deep paths, Unicode normalization, mixed-standard mounting behavior, large trees, etc.) Would a Linux version be useful (native GUI), or are existing Linux toolchains (xorriso/mkisofs/etc.) already “good enough” for most people?

Happy to answer questions.

OP here. A bit more context: I built this mainly for packaging cross-platform release artifacts where ISO compatibility gets tricky (Unicode filenames, files >4GB, and preserving UNIX permissions).

The app can create new images and also modify existing ISOs (add/replace/delete files, then rebuild). It supports ISO9660/Joliet/UDF/Rock Ridge so you can pick a compatibility set that matches your audience.

I’d love feedback on real-world edge cases to test: mounting behavior across OSes, Unicode normalization, deep paths/long filenames, large directory trees, etc.
