gnome-terminal no longer accepts '--disable-factory'

[OmegaPhil]

I've started working in a VM to investigate the desktop bugs for hand, so I have a pretty default config.

Looks like gnome-terminal has arguments churn making it unusable currently (no terminal appears):

SPAWN=/usr/bin/gnome-terminal  --disable-factory  -x  /bin/bash  /tmp/spacefm-omega-3b9879a5.tmp/7071b784-tmp.sh  run
    pid = 6873
Failed to parse arguments: Option "--disable-factory" is no longer supported in this version of gnome-terminal.

Version: GNOME Terminal 3.10.1

Fortunately no one uses GNOME terminal 3. ;)

The --disable-factory is used by spacefm to insure that the terminal it is starting is a new instance, rather than just a new window in an existing instance. This way SpaceFM can tell when the command executed in the terminal has finished. This mostly affects using Popup Task and Run In Terminal together.

The are a few other terminals that can't do this, so SpaceFM has workarounds for them, although some functionality (such as Popup Task and Run In Terminal together) is lost.

So the question is, does GNOME Terminal 3 have an option to replace --disable-factory that ensures a new instance is started, or have they removed the ability altogether? (My guess is the latter. ;)

Looks like they cant be bothered: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2013-September/msg05584.html

I won't be investigating further - as you know, I use roxterm.

Should be good in next - would appreciate a quick test- thanks.

I can confirm this now works.
