That's why I wrote 'My take away from answers so far is "A script will be required." ' Perhaps we have different ideas of the definition of "script". I saw the examples which worked as scripts (even if written as one liners). If I had attempted to use bash, I would have expected to use an explicit pipe command between 'find' and 'grep'.Have you looked at 'zenity' for (somewhat) graphicising scripts? Not quite the full GUI experience, but quick and dirty. https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/make-your-scripts-user-friendly-zenity
Had never heard of 'zenity'.I browsed the text of the page. To read it as intended I'll have to use an alternate profile -- it expects "features" I've explicitly disabled.
I searched for 'zenity tutorials'. The first few I found encourage further investigation.
