recordmydesktop file location

Question

I have recorded a video with recordMyDesktop, but forgot to specify filename with save as dialog.

Documetnation at http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/manpage.php tells that: recordMyDesktop produces a file(default out.ogv) that contains a video and audio recording of a linux desktop session.

Its not in last used folder /home/username/Videos

Does any1 know where default file out.ogv is saved if you do not specify a name in save as dialog recordMyDesktop?

If you don't specify a subdirectory the file chooser defaults to your user's home directory, which is where your file manager defaults to.

Click on the file manager (the folder icon on your launcher) and you should find out.ogv sitting in that directory.
