Mate 16.04 - right click open command prompt terminal …

Just installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04.

Two features I had setup in 15.10 was that I could:

  • right click in a folder and select the command prompt terminal

  • right click on a graphic image and select Resize

I can’t get these configured in 16.04. My notes are that the right click to open terminal

was built into 15.10, and for resize I issued: sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-converter

but that now does not work.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi CWMOSER

1-I think you refer to the caja plugin caja-open-terminal.

2-I am surprised nautilus-image-converter worked at all. You need to install caja-image-converter.

Hi Carl,

have you checked that in Caja > Edit > Preferences > Extensions > Open terminal is ticked?:

Tnank you both v3xx and wolfman. That was my problem - understanding that "caja" was the file browser.
In 15.10 I had used nautilus as I was coming from gnome version of 14.04

I have used Ubuntu for almost 10 years - coming from 6.10 through most of the releases.
I really like Mate and looks like 16.04 is the best distro I have used.

If interested in exploring, you can also check out imgp, a terminal utility with many more features (adaptive mode, recursive operations, multiprocessing …).

Hi all,

Is it appropriate to revive this topic with a related question?

Please let me know.

I would like to know whether there is a keyboard shortcut to open the terminal from the current working directory.

I tried Ctrl + Alt + T but that opens a terminal in my home directory instead of the working directory.
