	Using Visual Studio 2022 + Visual Micro Teensy 4.1 project Using recipe.hooks.deploy.preupload.1.pattern to launch Tera Term macro for OTA build.project_name resolves to TEENSY~1.INO instead of teensy_main.ino vm.runtime.build.intermediate_output_path works correctly and points to the right folder The actual .hex file is named teensy_main.hex This causes the Tera Term macro to not find the .hex file. Has anyone else seen build.project_name return the 8.3 short name? Is there a different build property I should use instead?

	Thanks for the report, and the short paths are due to the command being written to a batch script behind the scenes if it begins with "cmd" to avoid long path issues etc.. As a workaround for now the attached command uses powershell so avoids the short paths completely while preserving the same functionality. We will look at adding an option to avoid the batching for scenarios like this... and update when something is in place.
