I was wondering if there is a setting for opening a finder window?
it would be great to have fixed size and location if I open a new finder window ...
would be an improvement of my workflow and avoid to resize each new finder-window to my preference manually ; )
does anybody know how to set this in either a preference file or with the terminal?
BIG thanks in advance for any input!

I just did a search at macupdate.com for the term "finder window". Mixed in with a bunch of mis-hits there's some that potentially might do what you want (e.g., Finder Window Manager, Windown, Intelligent Windows). I personally have no knowledge of any of those of if they do exactly what you want. I'm just basing this on what I see in the one line descriptions in the search results.
As for any settings in the finder itself, no, there isn't any. The finder always "thinks" it knows what you want and what's best for you (yes, I'm being sarcastic if it isn't obvious)!

THX! for the macupdates.com link .... found the "Finder Size & Position" script ... and works!
placed it in the toolbar on top of the finder window and sets my preferred size&positioning with a mouse-click.
still a mouse-click ... but almost automatic ; )
fixed finder window size
