bin file output path doesn't work

Previous version created the bin file in the ./Release folder. The latest version now puts the bin file here:
1/Release"
I just downloaded the latest Visual Micro and I didn't change any settings. It appears that the VS setting for the output file is being ignored.

Thanks for the report.

If you enable vMicro > Compiler > Always Copy Build Output to Intermediate does this resolve the issue?

Yes, that works. Did something change in this last release? Why doesn't VM just use the VS specified release path?

There have been a number of bug fixes in this area, which mean it now only copies the output to the Project\Configuration folder when the option is enabled (as it should have been previously).

The default behaviour is to build into the Temp\VMBuilds folder as you saw without the option enabled.

Coming from c# into the Arduino world using VS I kind of expected the Release configuration to be the default place to put my output files. But as long as I know where to find the bin file and/or change its location I'm happy. I noticed the problem when one of my followers said the bin file I was checking into GitHub was not being updated anymore! Anyway, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated, and I really like being able to develop for esp32 using VS.
