When I do a refresh, 'task queue to execute' tab. I want to select a preset file, but I only get the choice to use the 2 default ones (.general2008, twoclasses200sunglasses , or save/save as/new.

Wheres the 'open' button?

"New" allow you to browse to the file.

Yes, but when I select an existing file it prompts me to replace it - presumably with the presets I am currently looking at. I don't want to overwrite the file, I want to select and use it.

If you want to select some stored presets you have to specify the folder where they are located at Project->Properties->AdditionalTasksFolder.

I use .\ to specify the project folder. I also tried explicitly browsing to the folder, but it does not appear.

This seems like an omission to me. Can I have a feature request for an 'Open' button?

Be sure you have the platform specification correct, i.e. that it is sufficient for the platform you've selected at tab 1. if not, the preset won't be shown. Also, you've to close the dialog before it will show up as it loads the presets when the dialog opens

Thats my problem. The preset file was created when I was using .net2 and now I've upgraded the project to .net3.5 I can't select the preset file any more.

Thanks.

[I still think there needs to be an open button though]
