Dear Maintainer,

I noticed that Ubuntu 25.04 (which is expected to ship GNOME 48 environment) will adopt Ptyxis as its new default terminal emulator. As such, I want to give it a try
on Debian.

However, I found that Ptyxis in Debian doesn't have a equivalent helper package like nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal (a helper package in terms of gnome-terminal) to facilitate
terminal launch in directory. I also found that seems in Fedora the packager applied a patch to implement this feature:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nautilus/c/e1f89670c5a664009196181bfb338faaad6beed9?branch=rawhide


While this may not be a critical issue, I wanted to ask for the maintainers' opinions. Are there plans to include this feature in the future?

Thank you for your time, and apologies for the interruption during this busy period of preparation for the Debian freeze.

Best regards,
Zhian Chen

This is a misunderstanding. Ubuntu 25.04 will still have GNOME
Terminal as their default terminal, just like Debian GNOME 13.

The Fedora patch is broken and the Fedora maintainers know it. It
displays "Open in Console" and then opens Ptyxis instead.

Thank you,

Thank you for your clarification. This was indeed my misunderstanding.
include this feature in the future?

Also thanks for this explanation. I stumbled upon this patch that Fedora
made.
I would have thought that Debian (or Ubuntu) would have provided a similar
patch,
considering the previous misunderstanding.

Such a feature indeed needs to be done at the upstream side, and it takes
time.

Thanks again for your reply.

Best regards,
