This is my 'stupid question' of the day.
How do I find the file path for a program?
I've installed a program with Play on Linux, and it needs to be connected to my Dropbox account. I'm using a script to connect the two, but it was written before Play on Linux and so uses wine as the default folder. My program is in a Play on Linux folder.
I can't figure out what the full file path is though so I can change it when I run the script in the terminal. I know it came up when I originally installed it with Play on Linux, but I didn't write it down and now I can't figure out how to figure it out.

Re: how do i find the file path?
Do you know the name of the file?
Quick way from the terminal
e.g
So
Other way - just open the folder in your file manager and look at the address bar at the top for the path (minus the filename). Same example for lookingGlass.js
Quick way from the terminal
locate <filename>e.g
Code: Select all
$ locate lookingGlass.js
/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/lookingGlass.js
/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/lookingGlass.js is the full path.Other way - just open the folder in your file manager and look at the address bar at the top for the path (minus the filename). Same example for lookingGlass.js
