Had a Good night.

Found a long-lost bird photograph file that my wife has been searching for on the computer.  She is a Happy Camper!

We wives like being happy.

Glad you got to help her out.

When I'm looking for a long lost file and I think I know the extension (say a jpg file),  I'll usually start off a search with a "*.jpg" & see what come up.

That really would not work for us, as we have so many photos stored on internal and external hard drives. In this case, I searched for bird, found one and traced back from there.  Luckily I found a bird photo that happened to be in that file.

If you knew about when the pic was taken, you could sort by date?

This was a list of 'birds in order', so it included many dates over several years.  This list included images that also occur in other files.  We found it, and that what counts. Thanks for your suggestions.
