I've been using your extension for a while, and I am very happy with it! Recently I have switched to Prompt / Ptyxis as a terminal though and that is not a valid choice with your extension. So, that's why I've opened this issue. Can it be added? Chances are high it'll replace GNOME Terminal(kgx), though that's not 100% sure yet

hey @sebastiaanfranken

I am assuing you are using flatpack with the org.gnome.Ptyxis.Devel? You then need to set it to ptyxis-nightly as in https://github.com/Stunkymonkey/nautilus-open-any-terminal/blob/master/nautilus_open_any_terminal/nautilus_open_any_terminal.py#L79 because there is not an official release for ptyxis out yet.

And have the latest version (0.5.1) installed.

Yes, flatpak --user to be exact. Thanks for the fast response, will try

Ok, extra / more info. It shows up now, but it doesn't open in the correct folder. It always opens in ~. Setting the flatpak option back to "system" makes it not even start the terminal anymore. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you check if my PR fixes your issue?

It does, but only if there is no instance of ptyxis already opened

If you close nautilus with nautilus -q and start nautilus from a terminal are there any errors when you open a terminal from nautilus?

For clarity, I removed the original extension, installed your PR, rebooted. Following that I opened Nautilus and navigated to my Downloads folder, right clicked and selected "open with ptyxis". That worked, it opened it in the right folder. After that I navigated (in Nautilus) to my Templates folder and did the same. Ptyxis did not open a new window/tab, nor did it switch the already running one. I closed ptyxis, and redid the steps. That time it worked.

This means the PR fixes your issue, right?

Half of the time.

@sebastiaanfranken Go to ptyxis settings > profile > edit your current profile > set "Preserve working directory" to Always and see if it works then. If it isn't this nor flatpak permissions, then I'm out of ideas. I cannot reproduce your issue, though the first time ptyxis opens it always opens two tabs, where one is in home and the other is where I opened it.
