When im trying to select the .hex it will suddenly scroll to the left.
is there anyway to fix this? or dev. could add a button that will copy the .hex easily?
Hi @eclipse02. The reason for it scrolling is likely that you moved the mouse pointer down while selecting, which causes the Output panel to scroll back to the first column of the next line, because that is the point of selection. This is a standard behavior you will see in many applications, which comes from the Monaco editor framework the Output panel is built on.
Since you are trying to acquire the path of the .hex file, you might be interested in an alternative approach for getting the file:
- Select Sketch > Export Compiled Binary from the Arduino IDE menus.
- Wait for the compilation to finish.
- Select Sketch > Show Sketch Folder from the Arduino IDE menus.
- The folder of the current sketch will now open in your file manager. Open the
build/arduino.avr.unosubfolder of the sketch folder.
The .hex file was exported under the build subfolder you will find there.
A separate folder under build is created for each board you export binaries for. For example, if you did the Export Compiled Binary operation again after selecting the Arduino Leonardo from the Tools > Board menu, that binary would be under build/arduino.avr.leonardo.
