Prior to recent updates, I could always find a copy of my .bin file in a folder called debug which was a subfolder of the main project folder. This now seems to have disappeared. 

I can still find my binary by following the link provided with the vmicro/compiler/show build folder option but it was very convenient having it in the project folder. Is that option still available - is there a setting I am missing perhaps? 

Is there an option to move the build folder?

Thanks

Hi,

The files should be in whatever folder is set for the current configuration. 

Normally, if Release then in the \Release folder, if Debug then in the \Debug folder.

The location can be set in the normal VC++ project properties "Output Folder"

Can you confirm that the tool bar shows "Debug" as the currently selected configuration?

I ended up deleting all Visual Studio created files and rebuilding the project - all now works again.

Sorry to bother you.

Thanks

If it happens again right click the project name in the solution explorer and click "Properties". Then look for the "Output" section on the first tab. That is where the folder will be specified.

If empty or the same as the project folder Visual Micro won't use it and won't copy the files to any folder after the build completes.
