Or does the program download the entire profile every time?** A: The program stored posts IDs in users' folders. For the first time, the program downloads the entire profile. All subsequent times the program will check for new posts and download **only new posts**! ---- #### Q: **How to redownload all data** A: Double-click on the user you want to redownload. In the opened window open folder setting. Delete the files ending with ```_Data.xml``` and ```_Posts.txt```. Restart SCrawler. Download this user again. ---- #### Q: **How to remove the label** A: There is no functionality to remove an individual label. You can open the ```Labels.txt``` file in the program settings folder and delete any label you want. You also can delete this file (```Labels.txt```). In this case, when the program starts, the list of labels list will be updated with only existing labels (from the user data files). ---- #### Q: **How to remove a user from the blacklist** A: Just add that user back to the program. In the dialog box that opens, click on the ```Add and remove from blacklist``` button. ---- #### Q: **Why don't you answer how it works** A: Because **I don't want to**. I don't want to waste my time explaining things that are already covered in the **[GUIDE](https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/wiki)**! If you didn't bother to read the guide, why would I waste my time?! ALL FUNCTIONALITY IS DESCRIBED IN THE GUIDE. Before publishing a new release, I update the guide. If you don't respect my work, I don't waste my time. ---- #### Q: **You lost me. Your program is too complicated.** A: **I'm fine with that**. If the program is difficult for you or you can't configure it, I can only suggest you find another (easier) program. I really don't mind! The program is free. I am develop SCrawler for myself and publish on GitHub because people found my program useful. If someone can't use it or doesn't like it, I'm fine. ---- #### Q: **I can't configure something** A: I can only [suggest](#q-you-lost-me-your-program-is-too-complicated) you find another (easier) program. ---- #### Q: **Can you add a step-by-step guide or video on how to use the program?** A: **NO! NEVER!** The guide fully covers all the functionality of SCrawler! If you don't respect my work, I don't waste my time. If you want, you can create a video tutorial and send it to me. Then I add it. All options and what each option does described on the wiki. The wiki also contains a description of all settings and how-to configure them. For complex settings, there is a steep-by-steep guide. Read the [main](README.md) information and [GUIDE](https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/wiki/) and you won't have any problems. I have developed a program with an intuitive interface. There is a Settings button, download buttons, a context menu that drops down when a user is clicked, and other controls. Anyone can use it. **The following video shows how to add credentials:** [![How to configure](https://img.youtube.com/vi/XDn7zG4I700/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDn7zG4I700)
