Sorry, no. A new viewer is a new viewer! It should open as a "new root 
viewer" if if you open it from the menu. Of you make "open as folder" it 
should of course open from that place directly and have that folder as root.

What should be remembered is that when you close gworkspace, it hsould 
remember the open viewers (which it already did) but for each viewer 
also its root path (wether "root" or another folder) and important its 
type (browser, list, icon) the presence or not of the voncenience tab at 
top and even the last selection for certain viewer type.
All the latter stuff did not work (or stopped working years ago). You 
got N viewers back, but they were all the same, all root browsers and of 
"column browser" type.

Now you can for example go to your application folder, open it as a 
folder, set it to icons, remove the tab ad leave it there. Quit and 
reopen you should find it the same.
