Question: My terminal always opens in home directory no matter where I open it. I also tried opening another terminal in the different directory but it's not working 

```
gnome-terminal --working-directory=Downloads
gnome-terminal --working-directory Downloads
gnome-terminal --working-directory /home/avil/Downloads

```

I have also reinstalled both open in terminal extension and gnome-terminal but it's still not working[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/s4Irl.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/s4Irl.png)

Answer: 
First launch `terminal` go to `Edit` -> `Profile Preferences` -> `Command` and uncheck the option saying `Run a custom command instead of my shell`. It will not working with Desktop, but if you're browsing the Desktop as a folder inside nautilus, it will works fine.
There's an "Open in Terminal" command in the context menu of any folder in Nautilus. [Right-click on the folder](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kW0cF.png) and choose the `Open in Terminal` option (between `Revert to Previous Version...` and `Star`.
