Roman,
The fault was first explained by B2K24..
(But that is a lot to get through)
So I simplified it..
With my 2 mini dats...
(Use these as I describe, you will see what they mean on PD)
However, let me explain it !
Without "Parge ROM Merge Tags" ticked CMP will report 5 missing ROMs,
on a simulated update from 0.147 to 0.147u3.. (my mini.dats)
With a Merged Set, either ZIP or 7z.. (When in fact, the files are in the archive)
However, if the archive's 'so called missing' files are found from a different source,
CMP will Rebuild them in, resulting in an Archive with 34 internal files, (incorrect)
now passing Audit in CMP.
With "Parge ROM Merge Tags" ticked will result in an Archive with 29 files (correct)
So, of course, you are completely correct...
Using my 2 mini dats, with "Parge ROM Merge Tags" ticked in the profiler..
The 'so called problem' is gone...Maybe "Parge ROM Merge Tags" should be '
enabled by default'
Cheers
