I have Ubuntu installed on one machine with Samba enabled and NetBeans installed, as well as NetBeans on a Windows XP machine. On XP, I am unable to either save or open a Project file on a network drive because it appears that if the location isn't a set drive (eg: C:, A:, etc) then it isn't valid. The message I get is "Project Folder is not a valid path". I've searched around and it doesn't look likes it a very big issue at the moment with other users, but having the ability to save to a networked drive would be a big plus in cross-platform programming and testing, rather than saving the file, copying to network drive, opening a "new project", then re-building and running the code.

Currently network drives must be mapped to drive letters, sorry. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 46813 ***
