The following pmtyd script reflects these changes and will be added to the next ISO release

Don't forget to edit the alias, folks. ~/.bash_aliases

Code Select Expand


alias muz='cd $HOME/music && pmytd'

or

Code Select Expand

alias muz='cd $HOME/downloads && pmytd'

I also added this line to the Menu>Multimedia section:

Code Select Expand

xfce4-terminal -T "pymtd" -x pmytd

You can tweak it for muz too. But I prefer to use downloads instead of music.

^ thanks for that... I had made the change to the muz alias already
