Files mysteriously appearing in home directory when using KDE, dolphin
This is kind of weird and making me very nervous: I had stored a bunch of AVI files in a directory quite some time back. That is the reason why I can't remember neither the name of the directory nor its location. Since yesterday, I have noticed files from that directory suddenly appear in the home directory. For instance I can see: ${HOME}/xx.avi. Then doing a:
find ${HOME} -iname xx.avi
Returns only the xx.avi present in the home directory and nowhere else. I am using KDE 4.5.3 and Dolphin 1.5. Any insight will be appreciated.

try using a wildcard: find / -iname "*.avi"

Re: Files mysteriously appearing in home directory when using KDE, dolphin
Yes, I have done that but yet not found duplicates. Don't know if this is related: My machine froze a day before, making me do a hard reboot. [Unlike FreeBSD, Linux freezes once in a while.] Also, my partitions are as under:
$ df -h -T
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev devtmpfs 10M 168K 9.9M 2% /dev
/dev/sda1 ext2 15G 3.4G 11G 25% /
shm tmpfs 944M 0 944M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 reiserfs 11G 3.1G 7.3G 30% /var
/dev/sda4 ext3 47G 41G 3.7G 92% /home
Wondering if the resurgence of files has got anything to do with the filesystem types that I am having. Anyway, no more new files have appeared.
