To this wish-list, I may add (in order of importance):

1) Custom Icon for the mounted volume
2) Correct Icons location (in the whole hierarchy)
3) Icons size, ToolBar shown/hidden, Window position, etc...
4) The Disk Image opening automatically

The tool from InstallerVise is doing 1 and 4. And it is doing 2 and 3
on the first level of the image disk. When it will be able to perform 2
and 3 for the whole Disk Hierarchy, it will be perfect.
