Hi, I've noticed a lack of functionality regarding the process necessary to go from an ISO file to loading a WIM.

Hi, I've noticed a lack of functionality regarding the process necessary to go from an ISO file to loading a WIM.
My current process:
- Navigate to folder containing the desired ISO
- Right click -> (WinRAR) Extract Files...
- Select destination folder (the one NTLite will use to find the WIM)
- Extract
- Wait for extraction to finish
- Open/switch to NTLite
- Refresh Source list
- Load desired WIM
Suggested process:
- NTLite -> Image Tab -> Add -> Image From ISO
- Prompt user to select a destination folder. Use OpenFileDialog so user can create new folder in this process if desired.
- Check if folder contains any currently mounted WIM files.
- If so, ask user to unload first
- Provide Delete Contents Before Extraction checkbox to allow user to opt-in to having the contents of the folder deleted before extraction
- If Delete Contents Before Extraction is enabled, start deleting the contents of the folder.
- If any files are found to be in use, prompt the user to cancel, or try again after closing applications that the file may be open in.
- If Delete Contents Before Extraction is enabled, start deleting the contents of the folder.
- NTLite extracts the contents of the ISO to the selected folder
- NTLite refreshes the Source list
This would be especially useful for users who prefer to utilize golden copies of ISOs as a source when building or troubleshooting new images.
