Over the weekend, I extended Explorer so that Tools>  Advanced Commands
launches a terminal in the root directory of the current location. It
seems to work OK on GNOME and KDE. I couldn't get it going to the right
place on OS X (10.4) though and I'm yet to test it on Windows.

Can a few people try this on various Windows and OS X versions please
and raise bugs (or send patches!) if it fails?

It doesn't do the right thing on OS X as the argument to the opencommand is meant to be an executable script and "." is not. Currently,it just errors out and leaves a non-useful terminal window open. I'vesubmitted a halfway fix at lp:~nmb/bzr-explorer/open-mac-terminal whichopens a terminal, but not in the current directory.
