Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Be able to add another terminal app like IBM Spectrum Protect Admin command line. It's using a cmd in the background I think because I have the same option than the cmd.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

An option to be able to add an app in the new Microsoft terminal.

You can edit your profiles.json (using the "Settings" button) to add additional profiles. There's some documentation being worked on here:

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/1577/files?short_path=198bce6#diff-198bce656dbd5be314c08f0eeaf09ec4

Though that link will likely break when the PR is completed. The file will live at doc/user-docs/UsingJsonSettings.md

Thanks for the hint @zadjii-msft but I can't add it because it needs to be started as Admin and finally it's a complete app and it doesn't use cmd...

There is no requirement that Windows Terminal use "cmd" either. Consider adding the "full app" as a profile in profiles.json and launching Windows Terminal as admin.

I begin to understand the way to write in the profile.json. We need to double the backslash in the path. But even if the terminal is run in admin the console that I try to run doesn't seem to run as admin but it open and automatically close in less than a second.
