explorer-context-menu-integration-for-windows-terminal's Issues

Consider deprecating repository and/or consider fixing launching

It appears that the latest version of Windows Terminal now automatically supports opening via explorer shell integration with working directory support (and from what I can tell, bug free). e.g. See: microsoft/terminal#8933

That said: The reason I even noticed was because the app updated itself in the background and right-click integration (manually enabled via these scripts) stopped working since the launch path of C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe was no longer working for me. So, I'd propose maybe:

1. Documenting that the functionality available in this repository is probably no longer useful for versions 1.9.x and above
2. Potentially even archiving this repository (assuming you don't want to maintain backward compatibility for older versions of Windows Terminal, assuming it's even possible to install prior versions)
3. If not archiving, fix launching of the app. Not sure how this'd be accomplished, since the only path that'd work in my case is C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.9.1942.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe which I assume may vary between either people or versions of the app (not sure).

What do you think?

incorect folder

terminal folder have to be in bat folder where is install.bat and uninstall.bat, if not they won't be a icon in context menu

Icon in ContextMenu

edit: I restarted my PC which solved the issue

The Icon of WindowsTerminal is not being displayed for me and others (see comments).
There was the problem, that the /scr/terminal-folder, which contains the icon, had to be moved into the /scr/bat-folder which I did, but so far I still don't see the icon.
