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.
According to this answer [How to add "Open terminal here" to Nautilus' context menu?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/207442/how-to-add-open-terminal-here-to-nautilus-context-menu)

If you have a up to 15.04 Ubuntu distro version you have to install `nautilus-open-terminal` package. In my 19.10 Ubuntu I can't find it, though, because it is already included since version 15.10.

You could also try to reinstall nautilus, after updating your system, if you have a newer distro with `sudo apt install --reinstall nautilus` command.
