It seems like the biggest short coming of file-backups vs TiddlyFox is the forced location for files.

I think it's possible to use hard links to partially work around that.

It would be nice if we documented that proceedure not only in the README, but in the plug in itself.

I was hoping the plug in "knows" the location of the downloads folder, and the operating system it's running under. That way we could have something like a button where the Dashboard button is now, that opens a dialog box giving instructions on the mklink or ln syntax that's correct for that users computer...

Yes, it's planned to add this info. Especially for windows users it's important, since "soft links" won't work. We need to use windows junctions.
