Sarah F. from Plainview, OH contacted us with the question, "I want to find my pictures from our family trip to Hawaii last summer. I don't remember where they are and all of my pictures are named with some unintuitive number, like IMG_1057.JPG or similar. Can WheresMyStuff help?"
You bet, do a time-based search with WheresMyStuff.
Move the time range selectors to cover the time you were in Hawaii, enter 'jpg' in the filetype filter, select the disk and press Search.
Make sure to set the time period (Weeks, Months, etc.) below the ruler to get the correct time range.
If you are unsure of the time, simply select a larger timespan, or pick 'Any Time'. If you are uncertain which disk they are on,
search each disk, one at a time. It still will only take you a few seconds.
Below is a list of all of the problems and solutions we have written up for you, although WheresMyStuff can solve many more.
009: Find all work files (and view them in one window).
016: Find private files (when you need to clean up your computer).
023: Find Hawaii vacation photos (when all you know is when they were taken).
034: Find large files (to make room on a drive).
047: Find pictures of grandkids (forgotten location).
