New issue 230 by Jeoshua: Usability Suggestions for the next version

I love this program, and it works great to download music. In the interest
of better operability, I'd like to suggest two seemingly small things:
First - There should be an option to make this thin client more portable.
I don't mean from OS to OS, but rather from box to box. This could be done
easily by having an option to store the data locally, in a file located
right beside TheLastRipper.
(Like %Programs%\TheLastRipper\TheLastRipper.cfg on Windows or
~/.TheLastRipper on Unix).
That way I could stop having to type up the settings I need every time I
start the program on a third-party computer. Oh, and the location of this
file should be tweakable.
This would be a one hour job, I would imagine... at longest.
Second - There should be better exclusion options than just Artist. How
often is there a band on last.fm that you love, yet another band that
shares their name keeps playing automatically? With better exclusion, you
could declare that that specific Album should not be recorded. And as long
as one is doing this, how about excluding Songs?
A good way to do this would be to piggyback on top of the exclude file.
Let's say you love Muse, but hate their new album. Simple enough, just put
the exclusion in like so:
Exclude.txt
-----------
Muse\\The Resistance
Using "\\" as a directory separator. Nobody has "\\" in their band, album,
or song name.

Isn't the configuration file stored at ~/.config/TheLastRipper.conf on
Linux?
