"Open Terminal": terminator does not open with directory selected if another terminator is running

[madmanxxx]

Expected Behavior

Pressing F4 in PCManFM-Qt should open terminator with currently opened directory as working directory

Current Behavior

• If no terminator is running, the behaviour is as-expected.
• If another instance is already running which was not started by pressing F4, terminator will open with home directory, not the one opened in PCManFM-Qt
• If another instance is already running which was started by pressing F4, terminator will open with working dir from another terminator window, not the one opened in PCManFM-Qt

Possible Solution

Tried setting /usr/bin/terminator --working-directory %s, but that didn't work. Peeking the process tree showed that every new terminator window is actually a child of the first terminator process spawned.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Install terminator terminal emulator
2. Set it in PCManFM-Qt preferences (does not matter whether it is selected or its path is entered manually)
3. Open terminator, note its cwd
4. Browse to a directory different than the one above, press F4 and cwd.

Context

This is probably a duplicate of #231
Also, I am almost certain this used to work until recently.

Not reproducible -- not with git, at least.

Here too - works as expected.

OK, upgrading terminator (2.0.1-1 -> 2.1.0-2) fixed the problem. Works with 0.16.0, no need to install git version.

PS: This is probably the original fix: gnome-terminator/terminator#270
