open in terminal is not working after upgrading to 19.10

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 workingenter image description here

gnome-terminal nautilus-extensions 19.10

    First launch terminal go to Edit -> Profile Preferences -> Command and uncheck the option saying Run a custom command instead of my shell. It will not working with Desktop, but if you're browsing the Desktop as a folder inside nautilus, it will works fine.

  2. 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.

    Your problem does sound like this one though:

    Please read the entire Q&A but to summarize the answer:

    You need to install gnome-terminal-nautilus or create a custom script.

    Then the follow up answer:

    • Open terminal
    • Go to Preferences
    • To your profile of the terminal(if you don't have any, create one)
    • In the menu of profile go to Command
    • Preserve working directory make it Always This fixed for me. Check the picture for more details.

    If you want to open terminal in folder with command keys than :
    shift + F10 E
    or
    Right click with mouse than press E

  4. According to this answer How to add "Open terminal here" to Nautilus' context menu?

    If you have a up to 15.04 Ubuntu distro version you have to install nautilus-open-terminal package. In my 19.10 Ubuntu I can't find it, though, because it is already included since version 15.10.

    You could also try to reinstall nautilus, after updating your system, if you have a newer distro with sudo apt install --reinstall nautilus command.

  5. There's an "Open in Terminal" command in the context menu of any folder in Nautilus. Right-click on the folder and choose the Open in Terminal option (between Revert to Previous Version... and Star.
