[Patch] Add a dbus service method to add a new tab in a specified directory

[Luke]

Patch attached to add a new tab which opens in a specified directory. This allows to have a small executable script (example below which you may include in Terra if you wish) to add new tabs to Terra and opens them in a specified directory which can be used in file managers (i.e. nautilus/nemo) to enable right-click on folder->Open in Terra Terminal functionality.

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys,dbus
from terra.dbusservice import DbusService, DBUS_NAME, DBUS_PATH

def main(path):
    bus = dbus.SessionBus()
    app = bus.get_object(DBUS_NAME, DBUS_PATH)
    app.add_page(path)
    app.show_hide()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main(sys.argv[1])

Is this project still active?

I wish i could say yes but in practice i am not developing in a while. I like this project and working on it but due to bug in vte or gtk i couldn't implement color theme support and all colors shown as dark blue[1]. I've worked on that bug for a weeks but i couldn't get a result, so that killed my motivation. But i am following bug tracker anyway, and also i am planning to release new version with user patches soon, but there is no big changes to release new version at the moment.

Thanks for the response. I hope you keep the project going, even with no big new features because as it is, it's still the best drop down terminal around.
