[Bug 373851] Re: for FOLDER, "open with "gnome-terminal" DOES NOT do a "cd" to the FOLDER

 

Ubuntu 10.04LTS, when right-clicking on a folder, the context menu has
the option "Open with gnome-terminal".  Selecting this option opens a
terminal to the login.  This IS a valid bug because the behaviour is not
as the user interface indicates.  This bug may not  be part of gnome-
terminal but it is a gnome bug.  Instead of merely  calling it invalid,
this bug should be assigned to whatever module is responsible for the
erroneous behaviour.

Title:
  for FOLDER, "open with "gnome-terminal" DOES NOT do a "cd" to the
  FOLDER

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  NOT A BUG
  JUST A REQUEST FOR BETTER FUNCTIONALITY

  "open with gnome-terminal"    doesn't work

  When in UBUNTU:FILE BROWSER ("places") , and seeing a list of FOLDERS and files,
  I right-click a FOLDER and see: OPEN WITH { DOLPHIN, KONQUEROR, GNOME-TERMINAL, etc}
  If I then click GNOME-TERMINAL, I get a terminal 
    *BUT* with current-dir = ~
  *WHEREAS* I desire that (in effect) a command "cd folder-path" would have been done.

  BY CONTRAST, if I open in KONQUEROR or DOLPHIN, these programs *DO*
  open "IN" the designated folder.
