Just noticed, after updating there is a redundant .exe file (exilebuddy.exe) left over after updater replaces the old user renamed .exe. While if affects no operations, it might just throw some users off and cause them to post unnecessary support queries for the bot. (old version, updater moved the new .exe inplace to older thus the exe got cleaned up too, now theres a ghost... hopefully not possessed but any PoE ghosts :P)

This is an unintended side effect of the buddy updater, and the changes made for some of the other bots when it comes to application renaming.

EB still requires manual renaming because a lot of users need to use programs that rely on a specific known application names, which automatic renaming breaks.

As a result, there's an extra copy of the new EB exe on updates, but you can ignore it or delete it if you want. :) If users try to run it, they will be told to rename it again, as EB supports multiple exes from the same directory being used (as long as different configurations are used for each).
 
Buddy updater did work fine before though (by deleting old exe -> rename updated exe to old name and then removing the original exe). Like you said, no errors, just wasn't sure if it was intentional or no. Cleared up now, so can set a lock.
