I met this need working with ROS and its launch files. it is basically a middleware that allows you to launch more that one executable at the same time with some kind of xml file.
The idea is to open each executable in a different tab so that you have only one window but with one tab for each executable and you can check more easily the output of each one. so basically the workflow could be: -> open terminal from the gui -> gnome-terminal --tab exec #open a new tab in this window and execute exec -> gnome-terminal --window # to open a new window -> gnome-terminal --tab exec1 # open a new tab in the window just opened and execute exec1 -> gnome-terminal --tab exec2 --tab exec3 # two new tabs with two differen executables -> gnome-terminal --tab exec4 --window --tab exec5 # exec4 in the the same window as before, exec5 in a new one I would have filed the bug directly to the GNOME tracker if their help page (here https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/ReportingBugs) didn't explicitly tell to use the distro bug tracker and let the developers use the GNOME one. Since i didn't think of this as a feature but more as a bug (due to the help sentence) i did not see the https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83203, which is open since 2002 and which last comment is yours (two years ago). Well, Thanks anyway! ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #83203 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83203 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661211 Title: open new tab doesn't work as intended To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1661211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
