Try:

sudo updatedb; locate -i *.jpg > ~/locateresults.txt; locate -i *.png >> ~/locateresults.txt; locate -i *.gif >> ~/locateresults.txt; locate -i *.bmp >> ~/locateresults.txt

Run that as one big command, then open the locateresults file in your home folder, it may help. The updatedb command will take a while depending on how much data you have

Can you help with this problem?
