Fingerterm terminal defaults to / as current working directory [duplicate]
asked 2013-12-25 19:27:09 +0300
The built-in terminal emulator (fingerterm) spawns a shell in / (the root directory) by default. Spawning it in /home/nemo seems like it'd be more useful to me (easy access to interact with local media/config files/whatnot). Sure, it's just a minor annoyance, but my muscle memory would be thankful if the default PWD was changed.
Wouldnt that be possible through some kind of .profile or liky?

FireFly ( 2013-12-25 19:50:01 +0300 ).profileor.bashrcseem to be run on fingerterm startup, which is odd since evidently it starts bash (going by $SHELL) and runs an interactive shell...Never assume anything is logical. ;)
