nautilus-open-terminal : terminal quick launch
Filed Under GNOME
Tonite it’s getting late but I wanted to post something that is useful for quickly getting to the shell from any GUI location. The package nautilus-open-terminal does just what you might guess it does. It allows you to launch a gnome-terminal from a right-click within nautilus.
You might remember I blogged about something similar long-long ago with nautilus scripts. This is based on the same idea, but now wrapped in a nice shiny deb package. From the package description:
Nautilus plugin for opening terminals in arbitrary local paths nautilus-open-terminal is a proof-of-concept Nautilus extension which allows you to open a terminal in arbitrary local folders.
To install this quick-launch to the terminal simply run:
sudo aptitude install nautilus-open-terminal
You may need to restart gnome / nautilus for the change to take effect, but afterwards you’ll have a “open terminal” button on your right-click menu anywhere within nautilus or gnome-desktop area. Enjoy.

Thank you for your support!
How about making nautilus extensible, sort of like firefox, customization is where all the latest software is headed, look at rhythmbox (or songbird), firefox, etc. We need to bring this to nautilus.
This would allow for a whole new world of enhancements to nautilus.
I like this plugin too! It’s usually the first thing I install on Ubuntu
Many thanks for this! It’s what is sorely needed for me too!
Cheers once again for helping to make our life easier

Cool but ..
isn’t there a quick terminal in ubuntu, that launch a command, unbind it and kills itself ?
With this plugin, I have several terminals launched and I can’t kill them until the application I’ve launched it them are done.
