Change .desktop file to handle dropped directories (610 bytes, patch)
2005-06-16 15:31 UTC, John Spray 		none Details | Review

Description Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) 2005-06-16 14:54:24 UTC 
Version details: 2.10.0
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.04

1.  Put a Terminal launcher in your panel if there isn't one there already.
2.  Drag a folder, other than your home folder, onto the launcher.

What should happen:
*   The terminal opens at the folder you dragged.

What actually happens:
*   The terminal opens at your home folder.
Comment 1 Olav Vitters 2005-06-16 15:24:40 UTC 
This can be done by changing the launcher command to:
gnome-terminal --working-dir=%d

Dropping a file will still open the terminal in the directory of that file.

Comment 3 John Spray 2005-06-16 17:32:40 UTC 
Oops, the %d in the patch should be a %f to work correctly.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2005-07-01 23:42:55 UTC 
Commited with the change to use %f.
