I could manage to automatically generat two xfce4-terminals each with 4 tabs. That is good.
But I want the left window have default working directory to ~/dir1 and the right window to ~/dir2. I don't know how to specify it.
The command I used is
xfce4-terminal --default-working-directory="/home/$USER/dir1" --geometry="134x79+108+62" --tab --tab --tab
But this left window's 4 tabs are starting at my home directory not ~/dir1. How should I specify it? (I tried giving --command="cd ~/dir1" after the first --tab but it was in vain. (ubuntu 16.04)

Maybe using a script and inserting a line with CD in it? (I'm just guessing here)
#!/bin/sh # ... This is a Script, save it with extension .sh # ... and mark it as executable: chmod +x ./path/script.sh # ... The advantage of scripts is that you can assign # ... keyboard hotkeys to initialize them. YourCommand1 cd /directory/you/want # ... always empty line at the end Or maybe trying with cd BEFORE the command.
