hiya. its frustrating me that my finder /folder windows always open the same/wrong way. (at least not how i want them to.)
i want them to open in list view, with name column first-- and i want that column width x -- then size column next, width y -- etc
but every time i open a new window that has yet to be told what to do, it always starts in icon view with no idea how wide i want the columns once i switch it to List.
this is a big deal for me because i create a lot of new folders

any ideas?

similarly, i'm amazed at how buggy icon-grids can be in osx
i find when i have a folder window open a lot-- moving new icons in and out -- the grid suddenly moves and now the icons that've been sitting there for a while are now suddenly confused and out of the new grid.
the one NEW icon that reset the grid layout feels it's on the grid, but then i have to move all the others -- sometimes when i do this, the folder window FLIPS OUT and shoots the icon way off to the left, etc, throwing off my meticulously sized window and making me replace ALL the icons on the grid.... harumpf.

any thoughts?
