add custum start working directory (26.26 KB, patch)

Description Mario Goppold 2007-09-11 19:24:47 UTC
In my daily use I miss the chance to assign a custom start working
directory for the gnome-terminal (-tab).
Neither the working-directory switch nor the custom command line help to
open a profiled session with my custom working directory.

I want something like:

gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile="src" --tab-with-profile="testsuite"
--tab-with-profile="work"

with src in /home/user/src, testsuite in /home/user/testsuite ...

I attach a patch that satisfies my needs.  And now my question:
Is there anybody out there with the same needs? Is my wish too special
or can I hope that this patch will be applied?

The patch is not perfect (the right words for the labels must be found,
translation, ...) but I can put some work in it if there is a chance for
general acceptance.

Mario.

Patch doesn't apply to svn trunk.
Comment 3 Mario Goppold 2008-06-16 17:58:12 UTC
Oh, 9 month later ...

Is this feature on the list to apply? 
If yes, I will rewrite it to apply to the svn trunk.
