GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 48290
It would be useful if "New terminal" was present in File-menu and nautilus window context menu also.

So, I think it would be useful to have "New terminal in this folder" menu entry in Nautilus window's File-menu and in the right click context menu. I made a script to do that because I found it useful. I often want to open a new terminal in a folder I am working on in nautilus. So, the point is to open the terminal and have the shell working directory be the one I was in nautilus. * REPRODUCIBLE: Always * STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Not a bug, but feature request.. :) ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:18 ------- The original reporter (tigert@ximian.com) of this bug does not have an account here.

come on!!! lets harness the power of the *nix.. This feature would be so much more productive than opening a terminal and then cd'ing to that directory.
vhg119@earthlink.net: If you like to see this functionality added, you can always help with a patch.
The correct way to implement this feature would be to have an open with => terminal in the context menu for folders. I filed such a bug with gnome-terminal as a feature request since the terminal would have to register itself as an application capable of opening folders. I believe that in the scheme of the current nautilus ui, this would be the correct way to implement such a feature, so i am marking this a dupe of terminal bug 81603. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81603 ***
Hmm. This would not be too useful for the current directory though - the place I most often wish to have a terminal in. I know KDE has a key shortcut for "open a terminal in a current directory". Having "open with Terminal" would be interesting too. But it does not solve the "argh! give me a terminal right here!" -problem. Of course, another thing is that if you repeatedly need a terminal when working with Nautilus, one could ask whether Nautilus could be improved so that you can accomplish the task with it..
I don't think this is a duplicate of 81603. What we need is a feature of Konqueror's Ctr+T. Just as tigert described, it will bring up a terminal and cd to the current location, just where you are. it's handy in case of you are in a very deep or long path. Could someone reopen it?
BTW, konqueror's Tool menu is a good idea. Could nautilus have such a menu to place handy functions like this? Other functions could include "Scripts"(in File menu currently), Websearch(also in File), Find file, etc.
