finder does not remember window positions (multiple spaces)
I am having this annoying issue since forever. I think even MacOS Leopard and when I search here in this community, I will find a lot of posts complaining about it.
Here is the problem: When you restart your mac, Finder does not remember the positions of its windows. Why?
Especially when Spaces come into play, it does not even remember the "display on all spaces" option if you checked it.
This is especially frustrating if you have set up your machine to open up a specific set of windows on a large display. I am using a 50" display for my work.
3 thirds of the screen are used for email, finder and browser. On my second Space I am working in an audio application that takes almost all the screen estate. Still, it is handy to have all the finder windows that I have on my first Space on the same positions when working in the other Space. Checking the box "show on all spaces" will help you with that - so far so good.
But once you shut down or restart your machine - the next time you log into your OS, some of the windows are back where they were - and others are not. I constantly have to drag one of the finder windows over to the other space with my mouse and using a "Switch over to Next Space" shortcut in order to make Finder "remember" the original setting.
This feels yanky and sloppy.
I am hoping for Apple to recognize this issue that still persists in Ventura and to iron this out. Finder is an unfinished application and Apple doesn't seem to care.
