[solved] mkisofs appends a dot directory in the output iso file

I'm using this command to create an iso from existing directory contents:

mkisofs -input-charset utf-8 -V "test" -J -r -o test2.iso ISOMaker

but test2.iso has a dot directory which of course is not present in the directory, how can I prevent such dot directory append?

What is the name of the dot directory? Post full contents of the ISO file.

Which mkisofs are you using? cdrtools or cdrkit? If it's the latter, give cdrtools a try.

Re: [solved] mkisofs appends a dot directory in the output iso file

The dot directory denotes the current directory. Why it is showing up inside the ISO is because of whatever software you are using to list the iso contents.

Try the following command and post its results here, I doubt if it'll include the dot directory:

isoinfo -f -J -i test2.iso

Re: [solved] mkisofs appends a dot directory in the output iso file

Thanks x33a, you are right. To list the iso contents I was using file-roller. I switched to mate-desktop and with both engrampa and isoinfo don't add the dot directory.
