You have all kinds of options. locate .cmap would list all such files. ls -Rt | grep .cmap would list all such files under the current dir, showing the most recently edited first. find . -name *.cmp would also list all such files. If you have tonso .cmap files, of course, none of these will narrow it down. Say you know you've edited it in the last 10 days; try find ~ -mtime -10 -name *.cmap Find is awesome.
