From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

XFCE, press f4 to open a terminal pane at the bottom of the file manager, like in KDE.
I mean... you can already open a terminal to the current directory. But I'm not sure why I would want the terminal to be opened inside the file manager?
HOW? I looked all over the menus, pop up menu too.
Re. Why, it's convenient for a quick task, and reduces clutter.
Assuming you're talking about XFCE's Thunar file manager, it's either File > Terminal or Terminal in the context menu for a directory.
If you don't already have it for some reason you can add it in Edit > Configure custom actions. Create a new entry that runs your favorite terminal app and give it
%fas the parameter that will take the value of the directory you want. Please make sure to select only "Directories" in the "Appeareance conditions" tab.You can create other custom actions too, for example I use
zenity --question && shred -fu %Fto shred and remove a file after asking for confirmation.I don't have it, and the custom command doesn't seem to apprear anywhere, but thank you anyway - at least I now know it's supposed to be there and can look for fixes
Edit: i've reread your post and Appearance Conditions did the trick. Thank you!
