This will only find files whose name is pyrenamer - locate will find
files where pyrenamer is in any part of the filename, which is what I
want. What I really want is the date of the file. The idea is to try
and identify files where pyrenamer is writing information. The problem
may be that some of that written information might be causing the
problem, and seeing the dates might help to identify those files. I
could not figure out a way to get locate give me the file dates, and
find does not get all the files I'd like to look at.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that. It shows it is in the bin
directory, which is what I expected.

I did that - nothing changed, even using purge.

Thanks for the info...
