| ## FAQ | ||||
| ### How can I change my credentials? | ||||
| - All of the user data is held in **config.json** file which is in a folder named "Bulk Downloader for Reddit" in your **Home** directory. You can edit  | ||||
|   them, there. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## [Changes on *master*](docs/CHANGELOG.md) | ||||
| ### What do the dots resemble when getting posts? | ||||
| - Each dot means that 100 posts are scanned.  | ||||
|    | ||||
| ### Getting posts takes too long. | ||||
| - You can press *Ctrl+C* to interrupt it and start downloading. | ||||
|    | ||||
| ### How are the filenames formatted? | ||||
| - **Self posts** and **images** that do not belong to an album and **album folders** are formatted as:   | ||||
|   `[SUBMITTER NAME]_[POST TITLE]_[REDDIT ID]`   | ||||
|   You can use *reddit id* to go to post's reddit page by going to link reddit.com/[REDDIT ID] | ||||
|    | ||||
| - An **image in an album** is formatted as:   | ||||
|   `[ITEM NUMBER]_[IMAGE TITLE]_[IMGUR ID]`   | ||||
|   Similarly, you can use *imgur id* to go to image's imgur page by going to link imgur.com/[IMGUR ID]. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### How do I open self post files? | ||||
| - Self posts are held at reddit as styled with markdown. So, the script downloads them as they are in order not to lose their stylings. | ||||
|   However, there is a [great Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-viewer/ckkdlimhmcjmikdlpkmbgfkaikojcbjk) for viewing Markdown files with its styling. Install it and open the files with [Chrome](https://www.google.com/intl/tr/chrome/).   | ||||
|  | ||||
|   However, they are basically text files. You can also view them with any text editor such as Notepad on Windows, gedit on Linux or Text Editor on MacOS | ||||
