Thanks britlion for the answer. Now we can see together whats wrong

I can't seem to work out where to change settings for how I like them.

I will write a tutorial

E.g. how to change compilation settings. I just can't find the options to send to the command line.

Almost all settings available to send to the command line are in the tabs on the right side of the editing window. It should look that way:

in the Tab "Project" and "Project2" there are command line options.

15:12:45 -> Compilation starts(256 Lines)
 15:12:45 -> Source D:\Dropbox\projects\Planet\temp.bor saved
 15:12:45 -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Boriel Tm\ZX Basic Compiler\zxb.exe "D:\Dropbox\projects\Planet\temp.bor" -S 24576 -o "output.bin" --heap-size=1000

I don't want "output.bin" - I want a tzx file saved in the same folder as the source code. I'm not even sure where it's trying to write the output file.

output.bin is a temporary file that will be later translated by BorIDE itself to TAP/TZX (because later I will add compression, screen loading, and already active is the binary manager for memory banks), but it is important to set up the save file (name it and set the save directory) because the predefined file name will save it in the default directory (which is the BorIDE directory), so it will not work. Just try to change the output file (click on the "..." and select your projects directory, and name that file from output.bas to e.g. Planet, it will create all needed files -BAS, BIN, TZX then itself)

 15:12:46 -> Exit code: 0
 15:12:46 -> Done: Compilation successfull
 15:12:46 -> FAIL: Compiler cannot write output file in directory (Protected Or does Not exist?)
 15:12:46 -> Compilation time: 735ms

And doesn't appear to work anyway?

It does not work because BorIDE expects that the directory of the file is defined by the user, which was not defined, so it is saved in the BorIDE directory and checked if it exists in the project directory, which it does not. It is on my todo list to warn the user about this.

Any way to make it save .bas files, as these are what I have already?

You mean .TZX files, right? It has a option to make .bas files already.

It sounds awful to say "I never got it to work" - because I'm really excited about boride, and have been since you first announced it. But I've mentioned before that it doesn't seem to work for my workflow. I've never successfully compiled anything with it in a form I can use.

Thats pitty, but now I hope, it will work. Please check this.
And I know that it is very slow at loading sources. On my AMD E-350 also the scrolling can be slow sometimes, but "force refresh highlightning" button make it fast again.
