Can we have a textfile with the excludes? I try to keep everything I need for a new computer handy for the 3 times a year I have to rebuild windows and it would be easier if I had an exclude file I could drop into everything.
I looked for a hack to do this already, sorry if i missed it.

You can backup/restore this file when Everything is not running.

If you save the ini file and restore it later you have lost all other changes you made since then to Everything.
So an export function for the exclusions would be much better.
Or even better the use of a config file which only contains exclusions.
