This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The user should be able to change the name of the file where the tasklist is stored; for example, the user may want to put it in an NFS exported file system (to access it from multiple directories), or perhaps in a VCS-controlled directory, etc. This is especially important for project-specific tasklists where you probably want to store the tasklist with the project source files.
Done.
