Bug Description
It would be nice to have an action to open a folder in the terminal, but this needs backend support. I want it to work for the currently selected folder and for long-tapping on an individual folder. A function definition like this would be nice:
openInTerminal(

The question is: how to find the default terminal application.
Options in precedence order:
[ALL] /usr/bin/ x-terminal- emulator
[Ubuntu Touch] /usr/bin/ terminal- app meego-terminal
[Nemo Mobile] /usr/bin/
[ALL] XTERM environment variable
Agree?
I would suggest:
closeTerminal () function to finish the terminal application
terminalAppAc tive true/false property to inform when a terminal is opened/closed
even the user exits from the terminal the file-manager will receive the notification
