That command will find things within the Downloads folder that end in “*.pdf” (`-name "*pdf"`) and whose relative time (`-mtime`) with respect to right now is in the last 4 weeks (`-4w`).
Then, it will pass it (`|`) to the `xargs` command, which will use the null separated input (`-0`) from the first command (`-print0`) to execute the `qlmanage` command to preview `-p`.
Hope that's useful!
Do you have a file in your Downloads folder that you know is a PDF that arrived in the last 4 weeks? You could do a Search in Finder, and specify Kind as PDF, and Date added to within last 4 weeks. You could select all those files and press the Space bar to get them to previsualize them and find visually the one you want.
But you could also use the `find` command in this way:
`find ~/Downloads/ -name "*.pdf" -mtime -4w -print0 | xargs -0 qlmanage -p`
Excerpt of a conversation between myself, and my girlfriend. She fights the good fight with the #technology . Meh. Something like that?
"Seems like that's the direction (web, phone apps, etc.) #software is going now.
#uiux #ui #ux
Essentially one familiar interface. Kind of the same with [the] #windows #Win11 [Desktop O/S].
A lot of it is familiar regardless of the app you're using. That's probably why you find yourself getting #confused about where and how to find #files on your #pc (e.g. where are my #photos ? where's my #resume ?) because it all looks so similar, if you don't know you specifically need to open a "file folder view", you might be lost because #Microsoft #edge is #maximized
The trade-off is the #convenience of that #systemwide #GlobalSearch that you access when you type the "Windows" key (that special key by the #spacebar)"
