Converting, but putting new file NOWHERE

[glennnall]

i had this app once before and loved it. downloaded the new version and when i'm converting ANY file to ANYthing, it goes through the motions, but doesn't actually created the new file. i've tried to place the file in different places, Orig Folder, Desktop, to no avail... ???

what's up with this?

Windows7 Ultimate.

Re: Converting, but putting new file NOWHERE

Your security software has likely put dBpoweramp in a sandbox so it cannot write anywhere.

Re: Converting, but putting new file NOWHERE

darn it - i thought that was a great guess (well, it was, really) but unfortunately not good enough. i even turned my IS all the way off. same thing.

this is quite frustrating. i used to really like DBPoweramp...

help?

Re: Converting, but putting new file NOWHERE

Enable the debug feature (dBpoweramp Configuration >> Music Converter >> Debug put a check mark)

then do one conversion and post the log file (which will display after writing).

Re: Converting, but putting new file NOWHERE

The last line is the important one:

File Size Check (core converter exit): 30578298 bytes Filename: F:\music\Bad Company\Do Right By Your Woman.wav

it states that when dBpoweramp quit it had written the wav file to the above folder, and the filesize was 30MB, this was the last action dBpoweramp did.

Re: Converting, but putting new file NOWHERE

ok - so the problem is occurring after that...?

thanks much
