    Question Open Terminal in Current Directory

    Anyone know of anything with a button for the File Browser that will open a terminal in the current directory?
    Sounds simple enough, sure there's something around for it.
    Cheers

    Google chrome can't "delete itself" for the simple reason that it has no control over it's own files once they're installed into the system directories.

    If your shortcut has disappeared from Applications -> Internet, and you don't remember uninstalling it, then you should still be able to run it by pressing Alt+F2 and running 'chrome' (no quotes) or 'chromium', depending on which you have installed.

    I tried that when it wasn't there, I re-downloaded the package (even the installer package wasn't there anymore) and reinstalled it, seems to be okay now not sure what will happen if i restart though,
