I've installed Pantheon File manager in Ubuntu OS. But ‘Open in Terminal’ is not available in Context menu. How to add it to Context menu?

N.B. install Install pantheon file manager on Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install pantheon-files

if you have problem installation watch 1 and 2.

Now,

  • Add ‘Open in Terminal’ edit the file or create using any text editor vi, nano, gedit, kate etc. Here I'm using gedit.

    sudo gedit /usr/share/contractor/openinterminal.contract

and add following code for elementery OS.

[Contractor Entry]
Name=Open in terminal
Icon=terminal
Description=Open in terminal
MimeType=inode;application/x-sh;application/x-executable;
Exec=pantheon-terminal -d %U
Gettext-Domain=pantheon-terminal

of if you use gnome-terminal then this,

[Contractor Entry]
Name=Open in terminal
Icon=terminal
Description=Open in terminal
MimeType=inode;application/x-sh;application/x-executable;
Exec=gnome-terminal --working-directory %U
Gettext-Domain=gnome-terminal

or, if you use konsole then use this,

[Contractor Entry]
Name=Open in terminal
Icon=terminal
Description=Open in terminal
MimeType=inode;application/x-sh;application/x-executable;
Exec=konsole --workdir %U
Gettext-Domain=konsole

Save the file. Logout and login or restart.
