GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 757179
Starting nautilus from command-line with '.' as the URI gives the same directory when used repeatedly
Last modified: 2015-10-31 10:25:52 UTC
Opening a nautilus window from the command line to view the current directory using: nautilus -w . will work only for the first instance of nautilus this is used for. Running the same command in another shell session from a different working directory will give a nautilus window that views the working directory of the first instance. This behavior was not observed in nautilus 3.16.
