Option in settings to open new tabs on the directory of the tab where new tab was called #681

Issue and context

I have been using guake a lot recently and for several times wanted to open a new terminal tab in the same directory as the one I am working on, but I need to change to that directory first and then do what I wanted to.

Possible implementation

My suggestion is to add a toggle option to the guake preference settings that when enabled automatically changes the directory of the new terminal tab to the directory of the tab in which the user called new tab. If disabled new tab will be opened in the ~/ directory.

Thoughts? Has anyone stumbled on the same problem?

Wow, same for me, i would appreciate it!

Sorry but i think that something like that already exists as option. Look at the screenshot screenshot from 2015-12-21 09 42 40

The only "bug" that i'm currently facing is: when the option is active and i open the configuration's window two times that option is not selected, even if it's internally active.

Linux Ubuntu 14.04 Mint desktop environment Cinnamon version 2.6.13

I followed these fixing instructions but without success https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/578#issuecomment-166154602

The same problem in ubuntu 15.10, the option of "run a command as login shell" and "open new tab in current directory" don't change after update it!
