Summary
GNOME 50 (Debian Trixie) has switched the default terminal from gnome-terminal to ptyxis. The extension's schema default still points to gnome-terminal, which is no longer installed by default on these systems.
Current behavior
<key name="terminal" type="s">
<default>'gnome-terminal'</default>Users on GNOME 50 need to manually run:
gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal terminal ptyxis
Suggestion
Update the schema default to ptyxis, or add runtime detection to fall back gracefully when the configured terminal binary is not found.
The README's Settings section already documents how to change the terminal, but a new user installing the extension for the first time on GNOME 50 would hit a silent failure without knowing why.
Environment
- Debian testing (trixie)
- Nautilus 50.2.2
- Extension 0.8.3
