Caja open in terminal not working?

I have caja file manager installed as well as caja-open-terminal extension. The option Open in Terminal appears when I right click a folder, but when I press it ... nothing happens.

You probably can configure the extension in the extensions menu of caja. Doublecheck if you've got the configured terminal program installed.

And where is the

extensions menu of caja.

?

If you're talking about the menu bar of caja, I double checked it and there is no such options for configuring the extension.

Wow ... how did I miss that!?

But the problem persists because the Configure Extension button is disabled.

I don't use the extension so I thought that there was a good chance to configure the terminal there.

After the extension doesn't work here either I had a look at the code and it seems that the extension tries to figure out a default terminal with gconf. I have no idea about gconf nor do I use it so can't help you there. Sorry.

After installing mate-terminal
the feature "Open in terminal" started working without further hassles
