Bug Description

I would like to suggest a new feature:

Make a selection of sub-folders that shall be restore.

Use case:
You install your linux again from scratch.
In this process, you want to start with a fresh home directory without old and obsolete configuration files of some programs.
Then, you may want to ditch old local configuration files but may want restore all non-hidden folders (e.g. Downloads, Documents) as well as certain configuration folders (e.g. for thunderbird / firefox).

A selection or even a setting in a profile would be a great function to support such process.
