That other duplicate question is 6 months newer than this question - does that matter? Or should this one be the duplicate, because the other one has more answers & votes, or some other reason? – Xen2050 Apr 04 '16 at 18:00

I use nautilus-open-terminal 
(click to install) from the ubuntu repos (no need to add a ppa!). This adds a "open in terminal" item to the right-click menu in nautilus.
sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
Afterwards you have to restart nautilus by logging out then back in, or this command:
nautilus -q && nautilus &

You really shouldn't be crashing when using the Open in Terminal extension. There was an issue in 11.10 between it & ubuntuone libs but it was resolved. Are you fully updated?
Anyway this ppa has an excellent Open Terminal Here, it's a nautilus python extension & will work just fine. (There are many other useful extensions, the ppa is well supported & responsive to any issues, none currently
ppa page - https://launchpad.net/~nae-team/+archive/ppa
To add ppa & install the Open Terminal Here extension
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nae-team/ppa
Then
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal-here

Steps:
- Download this script file.
- Right click in nautilus or on
Desktop → Scripts → Scriptsfolder and extract the downloaded file into this folder. - Close the folder. That's it.

What's in the script file(s)? Wouldn't pasting it here be better than a .7z download? – Xen2050 Apr 04 '16 at 18:05
