I'm using Thunar 1.8.2 on Debian Testing and the "Open Terminal here" function seems buggy.
I've set up the custom action
xfce4-terminal --working-directory=%f
with the keyboard shortcut F4
.
Oddly enough, right-click in Thunar and "Open Terminal here" always seems to work. That opens the xfce4-terminal with the current working directory.
But with F4
it always opens the terminal with the directory I last used the right-click "Open Terminal here".
So for example, in Thunar I go to /tmp/
, right-click, "Open Terminal here", I get a Terminal with /tmp/
as the current working directory. I close the terminal, move to /home/
in Thunar, then press F4
and I get a Terminal with /tmp/
as the current working directory again.
How do I fix this behavior?
*edit:* This is the current configuration:
