Hi:

i've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.

However, i'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.

i'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.

A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.

ideas? suggestions?

See siddarthkaki's post (below) for better solution.

This should work: Go to System>>Preferences>>Preferred Applications. Then Go to the System tab and change the terminal in the drop down menu.

I can confirm that that works, and won't potentially cause apps to break (like my idea might have done). Good suggestion, siddarthkaki. :)

Dang, that was too simple (and obvious).

Thanks to both of you.

No problem.
