    Hello! I'm searching for a program/way to see (like in a log file for instance) all action Finder does on my mac. I mean, for example, a way to see all files created during an installation of a .pkg, and the directories where they are stored. Any way to do this? Thanks!

    Resolved Strange .txt File Generated

    Was just looking for a file and saw this in my main user folder: I of course did not make it, and I can't recall doing anything yesterday that would've resulted in this, either. Any idea as to why it was generated? Or what the purpose could be? Running Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F2009).
