====== Settings and Proxies ======

\\ 

**Per Project Settings** - The settings used here will automatically be applied to new projects. For example, if I set a destination folder, unrecognized folder and set the thread count to 100, any new project I create will have these settings automatically applied. This can save time on configuring options when creating new projects.

**Global Project Settings** - It is recommended to leave most of these options at their default for the best results.
  * Save recognized links interval - How often the identified links are saved to file.
  * Autosave projects every x minutes - Projects will automatically be saved at the interval set here. 

**API Settings** - Configure domdetailer or Moz API here. Use the "check balance" button before running the project to make sure the API is connecting properly.

**Platforms Pie Chart** - The settings here apply to the graphs shown on the main UI. If the graph becomes too cluttered and hard to read, adjusting these settings can fix it.

**Configuring Proxies** - Proxies aren't 100% necessary but can be used to help stay anonymous. **Note** - Some VPS/dedicated server providers prefer that proxies are used with this type of software, even though they aren't required.

**1.** To import proxies, click the proxies button.

**2.** Then click the import button and choose from file or clipboard. Proxies must be imported in IP:PORT:USER:PASS format. Click test to begin testing your proxies. If your proxies pass, the status will turn green and say "ok."

**3.** Make sure proxies are enabled when configuring your project.
