Startup Nemo with dual pane

Hi, I wanted to know if there is any way to startup Nemo with two panes. I noticed that there was no option in the preferences to do this automatically. I don't mind if the method isn't good form or anything but I just want it to work. Any other information like config files (haven't found them yet), commandline options, dbus options etc. would also be appreciated. Thanks for your help!
ps. I apologise if this question has been asked before. I tried the search option with "nemo dual pane" and it told me that all the terms were too broad so it simply searched for none of them (major gripe at this point
)

Seems to not have an option for that yet?
Also seems doesn't respect it's own commands. Example have a terminal shortcut with the command.
Code: Select all
gnome-terminal --geometry=90x35+1690+370
And opens terminal on my 2nd monitor
The commands for nemo
Code: Select all
orbmiser@Winterfell ~ $ nemo -h
Usage:
nemo [OPTION...] [URI...]
Browse the file system with the file manager
Help Options:
-h, --help Show help options
--help-all Show all help options
--help-gtk Show GTK+ Options
Application Options:
-c, --check Perform a quick set of self-check tests.
--version Show the version of the program.
-g, --geometry=GEOMETRY Create the initial window with the given geometry.
-n, --no-default-window Only create windows for explicitly specified URIs.
--no-desktop Do not manage the desktop (ignore the preference set in the preferences dialog).
-q, --quit Quit Nemo.
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
Trying the same geometry command for nemo. And doesn't work as wanting nemo to start on second display.
If I have a term open already on second display then nemo will open on 2nd next to terminal.
But if nothing on 2nd then it opens on first display.
And shortcut default for nemo shows
And don't even know what %U means as not listed flag in nemo -help

Interesting, I'll see if I can add a preference for this.
