  3. open nemo
  4. try open in terminal option anywhere.

Expected behavior

It should have open the terminal

So mixed results here. You can workaround this for now by running gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec '/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/com.raggesilver.BlackBox'. (This is assuming you have Black Box globally installed via Flatpak and not just for your user account.)

The reason this is mixed results is because although the terminal launches, it does not seem to be accepting the working directory correctly. This seems like it might be an issue with the application itself but I couldn't yet figure out why that would be since it supports the exact same parameters as other terminals.

I've self-assigned this to see if we can at least get the terminal to launch. (Via testing, it seems that there's an issue with the working directory being passed to the containerized terminal but I haven't yet determined if the issue is with Nemo, Flatpak, or Black Box.)
