    Rufus is not for burning/mounting ISO, rather to create USB bootables from ISO images.

    Tools are not the same. One is a Bootable USB tool, UltraISO is a ISO/Image suite

    While Rufus can, indeed, burn the ISO to the flash drive, like UltraISO, it can't create nor edit the .iso files.

    It can not burn from the image. Also, you can't edit the images in K3b, but you can do so in UltraISO.
