In OS X 10.8.2, I create a new folder by right-clicking in the Finder and selecting New Folder. When I open this folder, the size of the window is not the size of the foremost window. The window size inherited by the new folder is always the system default window size, and apparently can not be changed by any means.
Is there a preference, possibly through Terminal, to have the windows of newly created folders open in my preferred window size?

I mostly use column view and have removed all folders except the home folder from favorites, so the root folder of most windows is
~
or/
. When the default dimensions or view options for them change, I reset them by running this script with FastScripts.FinderMinder watches what windows you open and changes their dimensions. The windows appear at the previous position for a split second though.
