Description Tomasz Zarna

Here is my case:
I've just moved all my .mylyn data scattered across multiple workspaces to a single directory by changing the Data directory on the Task pref page and importing bunch of queries. What I realized after doing so is that I lost all private notes while exporting queries (usually they're rubbish but some of them contained work-in-progress patches). I had to switch back to the original .mylyn folder (per workspace) copy the note and then switch again to the shared data directory.

Yes, including the notes and other information such as contexts would be helpful.

I believe exporting private stuff related to a task should be optional. There are cases when we don't want to share it e.g. when putting an exported query on a public site.

Should they be stored as a part of the QueryHit node?

That information is kept on the ITask object but it's likely that some of it will be migrated to a file-based store since there is no need to keep all of it in memory.

Right, I was more asking about where the info should be put in a resulting XML. I noticed the notes are included when exporting an individual tasks, but when doing the same for a query there're gone. In the latter case, tasks are saved as QueryHit nodes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<TaskList Version="2.0">
	<Query ConnectorKind="bugzilla" Handle="My Mylyn" LastRefreshTimeStamp="..." Name="Mylyn" QueryString="..." RepositoryUrl="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs">
		<QueryHit Handle="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs-261940"/>
		...
	</Query>
</TaskList>
