Issue


Hello,
I am unable to use the context menu to open Hyper. When I do, "Open Hyper Here", the app crashes and tells me "Unable to start terminal process" as you can see here. The window does end up opening, but it is blank and I am unable to type or do anything on it.

Here is a screenshot of the full error

Also, here's my registry key for the Context Menu
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Hyper\command is set to
"C:\Users\panda\AppData\Local\hyper\Hyper.exe" --process-start-args="-p %V"

Thanks!

Edit: Opening hyper normally (from start menu) works fine so I don't think it's a problem with my installation.

It appears to be due to the -p argument in the registry.
I had copied that from EsSpricht's comment on this issue on this repo, I don't know if the -p is supposed to do anything.

After I removed it, it opened fine. But it didn't open in the current directory. It used the default (User/Home) dir instead.

This is the exact value I am using C:\Users\panda\AppData\Local\hyper\Hyper.exe %V

I also tried doing C:\Users\panda\AppData\Local\hyper\Hyper.exe --process-start-args="%V"

But that didn't work either. So what is the correct way to open in the current directory and not have it crash?

C:\Users\panda\AppData\Local\hyper\Hyper.exe -p "%V"
