This is something I've never been able to find it any archiver, but is a standard feature in backup software.
It would be awesome if when creating an archive, you could include and exclude files & folders with a tree of tick boxes. A good example of this coming into handy would be backing up a user's AppData folder (you only need a small chunk of what lives in there), or any time where you want to zip up a big folder but exclude certain sub-folders/files etc.
