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: 
I don't have this problem with Ubuntu 16.04 and only have 19.04 installed on another partition which I haven't upgraded to 19.10 yet to test.

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`.
