Conversion failed: File is already in use Options

[golfer20636]

I am getting "Conversion failed: File is already in use" when using the file converter to go from FLAC to AAC(Nero). This issue seems to be related to having a duplicate album. I have the software set up to skip, if file already exists. I'm running v1.2.


Duplicate album paths:

E:\Music\The Cure\Disintegration
E:\Music\The Cure\Disintegration_


Converter Status Report:

8 out of 24 tracks converted with major problems.

That is likely due to multi-threading the conversion process, when two or more threads try to convert to the same target at once. Quite an interesting error case.
