It would improve the user experience if Thunar would remember window positions.
To avoid a huge collection of every window ever opened, it could be limited by default to the last 50 or 100 used paths.

Thanks for reporting, sounds like a reasonable thing to do!
Though I suppose it is the job of the window manager (xfwm4?) to that .. to be investigated.
Are you interested in working on it? I can provide guidance, but its unlikely that I will have time to implementing this myself.
I'd really like to help, but unfortunately my "programming" skills don't go much beyond PHP and Python scripting.
On the forum I saw a post, where someone posted a Bash script which implements this functionality in a quick and dirty way:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=48058#p48058
Maybe this could be polished up a bit for implementation.
@alexxcons: Seems like a duplicate of xfwm4#183, though Olivier position is that its not Xfwm's responsibility to remember app locations and instead apps should remember them.
Important detail: As Olivier told, session manager already saves window position between sessions. This bug in only for window placement in the same, active session.
