Please, open issue on

Thank you for this resource. After digging through it I found the answer.

Solution for me:

  1. Open gnome-terminal
  2. Select "edit" > "preferences"
  3. Select "command" tab
  4. Uncheck "Run a custom command instead of my shell"

Open in terminal option within Nemo is now opening with correct directory.
