Termite is obsoleted by Alacritty. Termite was a keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support.

The -d option doesn't work. #758

Running termite with the -d option simply does nothing. The new terminal opens in my home directory. Examples: termite -d /home/user/Mail termite -d /home/user/Mail/ termite -d ~/Mail All start a new terminal in /home/user/. I have no idea what the relevant information for this problem would be, but I'm on Arch, I'm using bash, and my window manager is dwm. My installation is up to date.

The -d option works fine for me:

$ termite -v
termite v15-23-g8e1a9ee

# Works ok
$ termite -d $HOME/dev
$ termite -d ~/dev

# With a dir that does not exists
$ termite -d ~/Mail
chdir: No such file or directory

Termite is obsolete. Please use Alacritty instead. See https://github.com/thestinger/termite#termite-is-obsoleted-by-alacritty for more details.
