## 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
