	Once upon a time, not so long ago, the hex files from a build were copied to a Debug or Release directory in the VS2019 project folder containing the .sln and .ino. Now they aren't. I think this stopped after I recently upgraded as my boards list was also reset. What do I have to do to turn the copying back on?

	The option default to On in prev releases when it isn't really needed and can cause confusion. Switching on "vMicro>Compiler>Show Build Folder" also shows a link to the temp build folder. If you do want to switch on the option it is "vMicro>Compiler>Always copy output to intermediate folder". That uses whatever is set for the intermediate folder in the native visual studio the Project Property Pages and applies the usual Visual Studio macro rules for paths.
