Would it be possible to add an option to disable following nautilus directory changes? Just a flag in the config file would be great.

For me, the behavior of the terminal in geany is fantastic. It won't follow any directory changes, but the terminal context menu contains an entry "Set Path from Document." With a very short click action, I can be in the current directory and run whatever I need. This keeps extraneous (intermediate) directory change commands from muddying up the terminal.

In addition, on rare cases, I will start typing a command in the terminal, get distracted, then change directories in nautilus without thinking. This is dangerous, because it appends 'cd XX' to whatever I was typing. This leads to error messages, and feels, well, dangerous. I realize that is probably not a problem for 90 something percent of the users, which is why it would be nice to just have an option to disable directory tracking. On by default for most people, and off for me only :D.

Thanks! Great job!
