+### 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]

+  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/).
