It opened the terminal but not to the folder I pointed it at, just to my root folder.

extended-actions provide terminal via gnome-terminal.
It's likely you don't have gnome-terminal installed which is why it don't work.

I don't know how to get a default terminal, it seems each environment, DE, WM got a custom setting for it.
I am not aware of anything common.

what you can do is copying the extended action file /usr/share/extended-actions/gnome-terminal.desktop to ~/.local/share/extended-actions/gnome-terminal.desktop
then edit the file and change gnome-terminal to your favorite terminal. Don't forget to change the variable i doubt --working-directory work with other term (check the manpage of your terminal).

extended action local file override the system one.

Hi !

I did as you told me and that's work fine.

With xfce, you should use this gnome-terminal.desktop :

[Extended Action Entry]
Name=Terminal
Icon=utilities-terminal
Description=Open in Terminal
MimeType=inode/directory
Exec=exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator --working-directory %f

Thanks a lot !
