http://askubuntu.com – In Ubuntu, is it possible to view a list of all recently accessed files (by date?) The Unity search menu only shows a short list of recent files for a given search term: I'd like to see a longer list of recent files. I think I once encountered a program that may have done something like this - I think it was an add-on for Gnome Do, but I can't remember its name. (HowTos)

I'd like to clean up a server that my webmaster let turn into a mess.

I know how to list all files not accessed within the last x days using find and -atime, but what I'm looking for is to come up with a listing of the last access date for files one level down in directory /foo:

GNOME- Where are my files?? 40 weeks 5 days ago

When I search for a file through Activities nothing comes up.

There are no files whatsoever displayed as a result of a search, also no folders beside the basic ones that come with the installation (eg. Documents, Videos, etc.). There is no list of recent files either.

Is this how GNOME is supposed to run? :Y It doesn't seem very useful if we can only search for programs.

I recently switched to Gnome 3 (on Onereic 11.10). I used to be a big fan of gnome-do (on Gnome 2), where I heavily used the "files and folders"-plugin. This allows to configure a list of files and folder to be searched on the fly while typing. E.g. starting to type "timesheet" opens "timesheet_2011.ods" from my dropbox account...

I can't seem to find anything like this in Gnome 3.

The Shutter screenshot tool has a recent files menu. How do I clear the list.

I believe that an earlier version of Dolphin enabled one to search for a file by date. This facility seems to have gone.

How does one permanently turn off any and all system "recording" of used apps, directories, or files in Ubuntu 12.10?

I specifically DO NOT want a list of my recently used files showing up in my menu for anyone who may be looking over my shoulder to see.

systemd will not parse all your unit files unless something needs them. when you do list-uniits it will show you the ones it has actually had a reason to read already. using list-unit-files it shows all unit files, even the ones it never parsed.
