Summary0009409: nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal: "Open in Terminal" always opens in HOME instead of selected folder (Nautilus 49 / GNOME 49)
Description

Package affected:
nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal (version 3.58.0-1kali1)

Other related packages:

  • nautilus 49.1-2 (GTK4)
  • python3-nautilus 4.0.1-3
  • gir1.2-nautilus-4.1 49.1-2
  • libnautilus-extension4 49.1-2
  • gnome-terminal (Kali default)

System:
Kali Linux Rolling
GNOME 49 (Wayland)
Nautilus 49.1 (GTK4)

Bug Description:
After installing Kali rolling with GNOME 49, Nautilus shows the menu item:
Right-click → “Open in Terminal”
This entry is provided by:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-4/libterminal-nautilus.so

But clicking “Open in Terminal” does NOT open the terminal in the folder that was right-clicked. Instead, GNOME Terminal always opens in $HOME.

Expected Behavior:
Terminal should open in the selected folder.

Actual Behavior:
Terminal always opens in $HOME.

Additional Details:
Environment variables such as $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI are empty.
GNOME Terminal DBus has no action for working directory.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Nautilus
  2. Navigate to any folder
  3. Right-click → “Open in Terminal”
  4. Terminal opens in HOME instead of selected folder

Conclusion:
This extension is not functional on GTK4-based Nautilus 49 and needs updating or patching.
