Hi,I've only recently started with the Arduino, so only recently installed the IDE version 1.0. For an unrelated reason, I was looking in my computer folder c:\users<xxx>\AppData\Local\Temp\ and, in there, were over 760 folders related to Arduino, each containing a short text file.
It seems that every time the IDE is opened - whether a sketch is loaded or not - the IDE creates three temporary files but only deletes one of them when the IDE is closed.
Is this a bug or have I misconfigured something? I can't believe that the IDE is supposed to leave its temporay files behind.
Thanks,
John.
Every time you compile, the ide copies your sources into a unique temporary directory, and compiles them there.
I don't know how often it creates the unique directory- if it is once per day, or once per running session of the ide.
