While FileHamster's purpose to back up your files as you work appears simple, there is quite a bit of complexity that is necessary.  You need the ability to control specific features, such as how many revisions to keep, what files to watch, which files to ignore, how often to revision, and much more.

This advanced functionality is presented in the Watch Options Window.  You get to this window by right-clicking on the watch directory or file you wish to modify and selecting "Options..." from the context menu.

Probably the most common actions you will perform in this window are:

·    Set the maximum number of revisions to keep
·    Set time delay between revisions
·    Set a plugin, such as the Zip Plugin, to be used on the watch
·      Modify the watch Description
