I'd like to open multiple tabs in Ubuntu's File Explorer (20.04 or 22.04) from terminal.

Optimally, I'd like to use some built-in utility like gio or nautilus.

I am aware of this issue, but it seems closed without further action. I want to avoid scripts like in this answer.

The closest I could get is this answer, however it's six years old now and I still hope there should be a simpler solution.

The best solution would look something like: gio open ~/Downloads/music/ ~/workspace/etc/. This kind of works, I admit, but it opens the directories in separate windows; whereas I want separate tabs of the same window.

On Ubuntu 22.04, you could try this:-

  nemo -t  ~/Downloads ~/Pictures

  • Can confirm this also works on Ubuntu 20.04. – n3xtd00rpanda Aug 08 '22 at 11:53
  • Hmm... I didn't even considered nemo, but after using it for a few days it does look good.

    Since nemo is popular and official (as open source could get :D) and does answer my question in a simple way, accepting the answer.

    By the way, it works on my Ubuntu 20.04. Thanks!
