Arduino Preferences I have check marked to show verbose output during: Compilation and Upload.
However, when compile is complete, what is meant by "Upload".
Where is the file located to upload?
Ron
If you look at the paths of stuff created during the Compile stages, you will see a .hex file created as one of the last steps. That is the file that gets Uploaded.
"Upload" here refers to loading the code onto the microcontroller board (in contrast to the more common use of "upload" to refer to transferring data to something over the internet). The more "standard" term is "programming" the part - but I suspect the Arduino people wanted to avoid that word, since it's also used to refer to the act of writing the code, and to the discipline of writing software in general.
Verbose Upload output includes all output relating to uploading as well as burning bootloader (anything that involves programming the chip)
DrAssy: sorry, guess I need to reword my question.
On an alternate Arduino Forum my topic was: Nokia 510 Library U8glib Error Fault will not compile,
I was asking about my sketch compiling but not uploading properly.
One of the replies was to "Enable verbose upload and post full output (as text)".
That's why I am asking what is meant by "upload" and how and where would I view the verbose file so that I can post it in text format. Very sorry, but this is unfamiliar territory for me. Thank you, Ron

On settings (I think tools menu, or maybe one of the other menus - there's only one option that sounds like settings), find the check box that says verbose uploads. Check it.
Then upload. No file is produced. Just select the text from the output area at the bottom of the IDE, and copy it with ctrl+c, and paste it into the post.

Yes, I've checked the verbose uploads under Files>Preferences. Do you mean copy/paste from the message area below the coding area where the IDE tells if there were errors in coding? See attached.
This dark shaded area doesn't seem to allow any copy function.

Position the cursor in the message (dark shaded) area, press Ctrl/A on the keyboard to select all of the text then Ctrl/C to copy it to the clipboard.

Solved, thank you. Ron
