	In my experience, Build (always?) creates both versions of the files (<project>.ino.hex and <project>.ino.bootloader.hex). What decides which of the two *.hex files gets uploaded by command "Build and Upload" or "Upload the last build"?

	All build and upload commands use whetever is specified in the core of the board package that you have installed. The correct .hex file is found in the build folder. The build folder can be seen in the verbose output or by enable "vMicro>Compiler>Show build folder" If you have enabled the vMicro>Compiler>Export function that also creates a special version of the hex with bootloader. It replicates the functionality of the arduino ide. The file is for your own use via a custom uploader. It might not be applicable for some boards.
