Build Folder Location

General
1

This is driving me nuts on a few levels.
I’m running XOJO v2025 Rel 3.1 on 64-bit Windows 10 Pro computer, When I build my program, XOJO creates an empty folder in the same location when my program is. All the other build files are place in a Temp folder buried under Users on the c: drive:

C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Windows 64 bit\program name

If I delete the empty build folder that’s in the source code folder and rebuild the program all over again, the same thing happens.

So my two questions/gripes are:

(1) Why is it sending the build files under the user account, and\

(2) Why on God’s green Earth, doesn’t XOJO allow you to specify where build files should be saved?

I don’t expect an answer for the second question, but I would appreciate getting some feedback on the first.

Well the Temp Directory in users AppData looks to me is for object files and such so makes sense since logged in user is the one creating/debugging app.

The final build is created where you saved project, in a builds folder. Why no where to set final build destination, you would have to contact Xojo and inquire or create a feature request https://www.xojo.com/issues/

Hope that helped, just a user myself :grin:
