Windows Terminal version

1.19.2682.0

Windows build number

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

I want to have a .cmd script which opens a new Terminal Preview windows containing N tabs (each tabs have same profile but different directory).

Example of my script :

wt -w 0 new-tab -p git-bash -d C:\path0 ; 
wt -w 0 new-tab -p git-bash -d C:\path1 ; 
wt -w 0 new-tab -p git-bash -d C:\path2 ; 
wt -w 0 new-tab -p git-bash -d C:\path3 ; 
wt -w 0 new-tab -p git-bash -d C:\path4

Expected Behavior

I was expecting to get only my five tabs in my new windows (or at least, my five tabs + a sixth tab with default profile).

Plus, I was expecting my five tabs to be organized in the same way I organized my calls (first path0, then path1 and so on).

Actual Behavior

Instead, I always get 10 tabs : the five I was expecting (with git-bash profile) plus five with default profile.

Example, let us say that my default profile is "Windows powershell". I got the following :

Plus, the tabs with the profile I want are always organized randomly.

The ; is a subcommand separator to wt.exe. When you call wt nt ; , that gets treated the same as wt new-tab ; new-tab implicitly.

You could of course just write the call all at once:

wt -w 0 nt -p git-bash -d C:\path0 ; nt -p git-bash -d C:\path1 ; nt -p git-bash -d C:\path2 ; nt -p git-bash -d C:\path3 ; nt -p git-bash -d C:\path4

Does that work a bit better/?

Yes, that definitely work a lot better !
Thank you very much for you amazingly fast answer ! 💯

I even ended up using your command line to create a new profile, which was what I was trying to accomplish in the first place.
Thanks again !!
