Sorry, these are contradicting with pcb-rnd's architecture and vision.
 
Netlist file: it's handled by the import schematics plugin. It has its own 
window that does exactly what you want. Just use that. You can get to it 
using this menu: file, import, configure import schematics. This can't be 
in the preferences window, because that would ruin modularity: it would 
make the preferences window hardwire things for the import schematics 
plugin or the other way around. Plus note: the format of what you specify, 
e.g. file name(s) or other data, is backend specific. Backends are known 
by the import schematics plugin and is unknown in the preferences dialog.
 
Project file: we have a well documented project file format and project 
file access. It does not require any configuration and you can not specify 
its file name anywhere, because you don't need to. Thus it can't have an 
input box in the preferences window. Documentation about this in the user 
manual:
 
it's called project.lht and lives in the same directory as your board 
file(s). Config role is 
called 'project', see http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/conf/sources.html 
 
You can learn more about how it's combined with other config sources:
