Where did you send the pictures from? How did you send them? Do you know any part of the name for the pictures?
To locate all .jpg or .png files in your system, and redirect the output to a text file, you can do something like this: 1. Open a terminal. 2. Type 'locate *.png' or 'locate *.jpg' 3. redirect to a text file with '>JPG.txt' or '>PNG.txt' 4. Open the file in gedit with 'gedit JPG.txt &' 5. Scroll down and check the locations. Now if you know SOME part of the filename, then you can grab results from the huge list (I generated a 1.1MB text file - that's pretty big) you can either search in the text file, or you can 'grep' it out. The other way to do it is to browse your /home/USR folder, look in the Pictures folder - that's usually where pictures go. To do it with your GUI in Gnome, you can go to the menu (under places, there's 'search for files') Select options (over 100kb wipes out most thumbnails, over 1MB wipes out a lot of others - over 3MB will pretty much limit you to wallpapers and photographs) - modification date etc. Now type in there '*.jpg' and select the folder you want to start searching from (your home directory should be the default) Canon camera's put 'IMG' in the filename, so I'd 'locate *.jpg |grep IMG' On Oct 29, 2:59 am, lasarelight <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I have unwittingly sent many pictures to be saved to disc and have > no idea how to find them.
