Xubuntu Thunar "Open Terminal Here" opens konsole in homefolder

Question

When I try to open console/terminal in any folder by drop-down menu in the Thunar, the konsole is opened in /home/user folder.

How to configure "Open Terminal Here" shortcut to open new terminal window correctly?

UPD:

1. Opening the /home/user/Downloads folder
2. There is folder named "FOLDER"
3. Right mouse click on folder "FOLDER"
4. From drop-down menu choosing the "Open Terminal Here" option
5. New terminal (konsole) is running in the /home/user/ , but should be in /home/user/Downloads

Solution 1

I found solution!!! In Thunar Edit>Configure custom actions... then edit "Open Terminal Here"

and replace:

exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator

with this:

konsole --workdir %f

Solution 2

By default, Thunar uses the exo-open command, which is configured in the XFCE settings. If you do not have the XFCE settings app installed, you can instead configure it in ~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc:

TerminalEmulator=konsole
TerminalEmulatorDismissed=true

or, another example,

TerminalEmulator=kitty
TerminalEmulatorDismissed=true
