specifically, the terminal...
last night i installed full tilt poker a) cuz its one of the best and 2) cuz its the only one for mac
(you may have noticed from my sig which is the things i'm into that cards was one, well, thats cuz pokers mint)
anyway, during installation, it put a real shed load of files somewhere and me being the inquisitive kinda fella i am when it comes to computers, i wanted to know where they had all gone...
now, they are not assosiated with the app in the normal way since forklift doesnt pick them up in the uninstall app dialog box... so they are somewhere out of the ordinary...
i saw a load of the filenames as they were flicking past my eyes were 0.png, 1.png, etc... so i tried to search for these names, but nothing comes up in spotlight
so, i figure this is only a cut down search and missing out some of the deeper places, so then i read that the locate command in terminal will find anything so i went in there and typed "locate 1.png" but it didn't do anything...
so basically i'm asking, if there is a file you just can't find but know its there... how do you go about finding it?
EDIT: just to tell you what it said, the result was "No such file or directory" but it came to that conclusion almost instantly - i did this from the root prompt btw (went "cd .." a few times till it hit the wall)
