“The find command is easily one of the handiest Linux commands
but can also be one of the most frustrating. To search for all the
picture files on your local drive you would type something
like:$ find . --name "*.jpg" --or --name "*.png"Easy enough, but the result might not be what you want if you have
lots of pictures. One quick way to add a little GUI list box to
present the results in a more pleasant way would be as follows:$ find . --name "*.jpg" --or --name "*.png" |zenity --list --column "Pictures"
