Channels

This form allows you to receive channels' posts. Each post includes a username, post ID and an image (or thumbnail for a video). You can download a certain number of posts, download all posts up to a specific date, or download posts up to a specific post ID.

The downloaded post data will be saved in the program cache folder (Data path). This cache will be deleted after the program is closed.

You can download channels with users that you have in the program together.

Each user you selected in the channel form will be added to the temporary list and their number will be shown in the caption of the Add button. This is a temporary list. To add users from this list to the program, you need to click the Add button.

To add a user to the temporary list, you just need to mark the post in the posts list. The user ID will be added to this list after you change the page (using the page change buttons) or forcibly click the Add button (in this case, users will be added to the program).
