Ubuntu
gnome-terminal package

how to find which directory a program "Application" is hidden?

Asked by JP Dallaire

Need to download a torrent with KTorrent but only Transmission is the default application on the "What to do" box. When I click "Other Application" I do not see KTorrent since I do not know which directory it is. There was a command to find an application with terminal but do not remember how to do this.

Thank You for your help

I found the executable file in /USR/BIN thank you... although there was a way to find any file with a command like "where is ***" or "find ***" I tried but not a executable command on either. I know there is a way to find any file or folder with terminal, since Linux has a way to place files in different directories and sub directories, hard to follow... But for now it will do, since you pointed which directories KTorrent was. Thanks Again

For example, works great...
