Nautilus windows position

Greetings everyone, I have installed and configured my Arch Linux system, it works really nice.
I am using GDM+Gnome desktop environment (3.20), however,

1. When I start my Nautilus it starts on upper left side of the screen, it really bothers me... I am perfectionist.

I need help because I don't know how to make my Nautilus start centered after each new instance/launch.

anyone ?

Re: Nautilus windows position

I don't know about an option to start it centered, but you can start it maximized by:

dconf write /org/gnome/nautilus/window-state/maximized true

Otherwise you could have a look how window states work:

Re: Nautilus windows position

org.gnome.mutter.center-new-windows dconf key should be exactly what you're looking for.

Although that centers all new windows. If you only want nautilus to be centered, I think you can use devilspie for that
