(Replying again as it didn't go to the list - Gmail isn't smart while replying to mailing lists.) If you want to make nautilus open a directory in xterm (that is, run xterm and cd to the directory) you can use the "Open With Other Application" option offered on right-click. That option will show all applications from /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications directory which contain %F specifier in the Exec statement. So, using a plain text editor you first have to create xterm.desktop file in /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications so that it contains the following text: [Desktop Entry] Name=XTerm Exec=xterm -e "cd %F; $SHELL" Type=Application Keywords=shell;prompt;command;commandline;cmd; Icon=xterm Categories=TerminalEmulator; StartupNotify=true After that right-click a directory in nautilus and choose Open With Other Application > View All Applications > XTerm. That way nautilus will execute xterm -e "cd %F; $SHELL" where %F is replaced with the path of the directory and $SHELL is replaced with the path of your shell. I tried that on Debian 10 with gnome 3.30 and it works fine. -- rpr. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
