 FlickSave -- automatic snapshot each time you hit save
 ======================================================
 
-FlickSave automagically backup a timestamped snapshot of a file that you edit with any program, without getting in your way.
+FlickSave automagically perform an action each time you touch a watched file.
+
+For instance, FlickSave can backup a timestamped snapshot of a file that you edit with any program, without getting in your way.
 
 For example, each time you hit `Ctrl-S` within a drawing software,
 FlickSave will make a copy the current version of your file,
 along with the precise date of this version.
 
 This may be useful for digital artists that want to prepare a time-lapse of their on-going work without having to think about it.
+You can even do an automatic Git commit the same way.
+
 
 ## Usage
 
 You should start FlickSave with the file you want to save as an argument
-and let it run during the time you want to create snapshots.
+and let it run during the time you want to let it perform your action.
 Once started, it will watch for modifications on the given file
-and create the snapshots by himself each time something happens.
+and, for instance, create the snapshots by himself each time something happens.
 
-By default, the snapshot has the same name than the targeted file, with the addition of the timestamp.
+Currently, FlickSave can perform the following actions:
+
+- `--save`: save a timestamped  snapshot of the watched file,
+- `--inkscape`: export a timestamped PNG of a watched SVG,
+- `--git`: commit the modifications of the watched file,
+- `--log`: print a message stating that the watched file was touched.
+
+You can pass multiple actions.
+For instance, you can both export a PNG and do a Git commit.
+
+By default, timestamped snapshots have the same name than the targeted file, with the addition of the timestamp.
 For instance, with a target file named `test.svg`, a snapshot will look like `test_2017-11-28T21:02:59.svg`.

 ### Synopsis
 
-`flicksave.py [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] [-y DELAY] [-s SEPARATOR] [-t TEMPLATE] [-v {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}] target`
+`flicksave.py [-h] [--save] [--inkscape] [--git] [--log] [-d DIRECTORY] [-y DELAY] [-s SEPARATOR] [-t TEMPLATE] [-w] [-v {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}] [-e {opened,moved,deleted,created,modified,closed}...] target`
 
 ### Required positional argument
 
-`target`: The file to save each time it's modified.
+`target`: The file to watch.
 
 ### Optional arguments
 
 * `-h`, `--help`: show this help message and exit.
+* `--save`: Save a snapshot of the watched file.
+* `--inkscape`: Save a PNG snpashot of the watched SVG file.
+* `--git`: Commit the watched file if it has been modified.
+* `--log`: Print a message when the watched file is touched.
 * `-d DIRECTORY`, `--directory DIRECTORY`: The directory in which to copy the saved versions.  (default: .)
 * `-y DELAY`, `--delay DELAY`: The minimum time (in seconds) between the creation of different saved files. (default: 10)
 * `-s SEPARATOR`, `--separator SEPARATOR`: Separator character between the file name and the date stamp. (default: _)
 * `-t TEMPLATE`, `--template TEMPLATE`: Template of the date stamp. (default: %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S)
+* `-e {opened,moved,deleted,created,modified,closed}...`, `--events`: The events touching the watched file for which you want your action perfomed. You can pass multiple (space-separated) events, then the action will be performed for each of them. (default: modified)
+* `-w`, `--no-overwrite`: Do not overwrite snapshots created at the same time, but append a number to their name (especially useful if you watch several events).
 * `-v {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}`, `--verbose {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR}`: Verbosity level. (default: WARNING)

 Just start FlickSave with your target file as an argument:
 
-    $ ./flicksave.py my_file.svg
+    $ ./flicksave.py --save my_file.svg
 
 Then edit your file and save it.
 As usual, hit `Ctrl-C` (or close the terminal) to stop FlickSave.
 
 If you want to specify a directory in which to put your snapshots,  with no more than one separate file every minute:
 
-    $ ./flicksave.py -d flicksave -y 60 my_file.xcf
+    $ ./flicksave.py --inkscape -d flicksave -y 60 my_file.svg
