Nautilus "Open in Terminal" shortcut in Fedora Workstation 41?

Hello everybody,

the default gnome-terminal was switched to ptyxis in Fedora Workstation 41. Unfortunetly with it the Open in Terminal shortcut in Nautilus (Gnome Files) was dropped as well. I loved that feature as it allowed a quick combination of GUI navigiation and terminal commands.

Does anybody know if the feature is on the roadmap, or a successor of gnome-terminal-nautilus is in the making? I actually can’t find the sources to previous extension (yet).

Added gnome, ptyxis

Should be already fixed in the next nautilus update!

Is this fixed in some Fedora-specific way or is this going to appear upstream?

It’s Fedora-specific. Upstream only supports gnome-console. For Fedora, I’ve simply changed that to ptyxis instead.

Could you share the future version of Nautilus that has fixed this bug?

Yesterday I just installed Fedora 41 Beta and found this bug also.

It should be fixed in nautilus 47.0-1.fc41

Is it possible to change this back to Gnome Console (kgx)? I don’t want to use ptyxis, and now, when I removed it and installed Gnome Console, I don’t have any option in nautilus to open in console/terminal.

I stumbled upon this thread when I found out the ‘open folder in Console’ option vanished in F41. I tracked down the source(and downstream patch) and reverted the patch. Package is available at my repo in copr; you can install the ‘un-patched’ nautilus by:
sudo dnf copr enable nonstandarduser/nautilus-gnome-console
sudo dnf reinstall nautilus (<- you might have to try this several times to refresh)
Enjoy!

Thanks that solution works for me. I was so used to have that shortcut working :+1:t4:

Sorry to bother you guys, I just realised this now. I’m just saying that it might be more appropriate for us to request gnome to add a selector to choose which terminal app to open with. Instead of pretending here that only ptyxis users need this feature or that only ptyxis users exist in fedora.
