Where are files

royeo · 11-29-2006, 02:36 PM

I have FC-5 and use KDE.

I use Grip and KAudioCreator to rip songs from CDs. Usually they make an ogg directory in my home directory to save files. But now I can't see the directory. I did a search on one of the files I ripped and it found it in the usual place even though I can't see it.

The rippers are working, I can see it, I just don't know where the songs (files) are going. Does anyone out there know the answer to this riddle?

Thanks,

royeo

You found it even though you can't see it? I'm confused.

Set your file manager to show hidden files (or do ls -a in a terminal). I don't know why your SW should suddenly make hidden files, but this will eliminate that variable.

Also try searching for the file extension...e.g.:
find /home -name *.ogg
If it's not in /home then try:
find / -name *.ogg (This will take longer)
