[X4U] Using Apple's Find (Command F)

[Mark Paul]

Create a New Smart Folder.

Pick where you want it to search: Computer, Home, or particular folders.

Pick what kind of files you want to see. (All files anywhere on your  
computer is going to show preferences, cached web images, so you  
probably want to narrow the types or limit the universe to the  
folders that contain your work documents.)

Add a search criteria for Last Modified. Set it to today.

On the View area, toggle list view. Click on the Last Modified column  
to sort by time modified.

There you have it. Or am I missing something?


Cheers,

Mark
