IBM Notes - Finding my temporary files

So one of my colleagues sent me an Excel spreadsheet as an attachment - once I'd finished dressing him down about (a) using MS Office and (b) sending email attachments, I double-clicked on the .XLS file, opened it up in OpenOffice, and then edited it - and then saved it ( note, I said Save, not Save As ).

You know what's coming ?

Yes, I'd saved the file to some random location on my hard-disk, and couldn't find it to send it back to my colleague - via Connections Files, of course.

Thankfully, I did not re-open the file, so I didn't overwrite my changes .....

But where is the spreadsheet ???

I opened up a command prompt ( Terminal on the Mac ), and went a-huntin'

$ cd /

$ find / -name jam*.xls 

...

This allowed me to "rescue" the file: -

$ cd Desktop/
$ cp /private/var/folders/8t/s52kgwtj4l16sp3nf0tl7f9c0000gn/T/TemporaryItems/notes/jamsurvey.xls .

Sorted :-)
