I was very curious about the Ptyxis terminal so I installed it to give it a try.
I am very impressed with it, but it has created a problem. When I open Thunar and select ‘Open terminal here’ it simply opens a terminal here…
╭─colin@Garuda in ~
╰─λ
…not in the folder being shown by Thunar.
Also, if I select ‘Open in root terminal here’ I am asked for the password, and when I enter it nothing happens.
I have selected Ptyxis as the default terminal in ‘Default applications’ to no avail, and I spent two hours last night digging through forums for an answer, also to no avail.
Does anyone know a simple way to get Ptyxis to open in the correct location when it is opened via Thunar?
