    convert to .m4a - small bug (can't imagine it's a feature)

    Hi all, newbie here. Must say I am very impressed with this software (enough to remove the padlock from my wallet!) and also the forum.

    Don't know if this has been mentioned before - can't find it if it has, so:

    Have been playing around with AAC and various other formats. After converting to .m4a, with Output Location set to Original Folder, if you delete the new .m4a file a "ghost" immediately appears with the same filename, but no content (0 bytes). This doesn't seem to happen when the Output Location is somewhere else. (Nor with any other format - MP3, Musepack, you name it.)

    Hardly the most irritating thing imaginable, just thought I'd mention it! Or maybe there's a good reason for it?

    Could not think why it would only do it if converting to the same folder, the converter does not run after conversion has completed.

      Just a bit of cross-referencing here. This thread

      http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=16273

      seems vaguely relevant.

        I am experiencing the same problem. The file deletes without any problem, but keeps returning. I use no tagging software and the problem still happens with my anti-virus disabled (Symantec Corporate).

        Edit: Well now the file deletes for good and isn't coming back. Weird.

          Just tried this using foobar, and the same thing occurs. Looks like the problem might be in the neroAacEnc.exe itself.
