#413 Backup empty Directory

I have a backuped subdirectory with one file. If i delete the file so that dir is empty and try to backup this directory, no new backup entry is created.

Windows 7 64 Bit
Areca Backup Version 7.2.4 - 18. Januar 2012

java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)

I noticed this in version 7.4.7 (first time I'd come across Areca) and posted in the forum. The release notes for Version 7.5 (released 2015-08-26) mention that this is fixed, and I can confirm I don't see the problem with that version.
