Get .hex from an Arduino Code

There is no direct way to access .hex files of the code you write in Arduino.

There is a work-around I found on another thread.  Create the applet folder (any name) under arduino-0018 folder and restart Arduino IDE.  Then when the compile or upload is clicked, it works, uploads and all.  The folder is filled with the files – easy to find and a reasonable name. MUCH better.

This is better than the temp folder crap – even better f it would put the applet under the sketch folder as before so the files didn’t get overwrote if changing sketch.  

An option would be very good. Comments are welocome.
