nautilus initial window size

[Frank Worsley <fworsley shaw ca>]

Hi,

right now when Nautilus uses default preferences (i think it's default
anyway) the mode of operation is to open every folder in the same
window. So basically I only get a new window when I specifically request
it or I double-click on a folder on the desktop.

This also means that Nautilus displays every new window using the same
default size.

However, if I change the option to display every folder in it's own
window, then Nautilus remembers the window geometry for every folder.

I think it should do this regardless of what the option is set to.

My reasoning is that it's very annoying to always get the large default
Nautilus window when opening a folder on my desktop. Furthermore, in
Windows I also use the one-window-for-all-folders mode, but it still
remembers the window size for the different folders. So when I open my
"Music" folder on the desktop, it opens as a long and narrow window ...
just right for browsing music files. When I open my documents folder it
opens as large square window ... just right for browsing my files. etc.
etc... you get the picture.

So, I think Nautilus should have the same behaviour. What do people
think?
