works for me...but as I said...maybe your storing method is different.
So, I've created an empty folder e:\temp\test and put the rar file in it.
I went to dir2dat, settings can be seen in attached screenshot and hit create....and it created:

It only works when you have specified something in the select sets box.
A simply uncheck won't be remembered...but this is also the case in non-batch mode.

can you give me a short description how the files are stored?
- what is the dir2dat source folder
- where is Abra Ca Dabra (1.00) screenshot.jpg located?
- is it an unpacked file?
Currently I assume the following:
<your sourcepath>\1.00\Abra Ca Dabra (1.00) screenshot.jpg
is this correct? Or is your setup different...maybe also a screenshot of dir2dat.
....since currently I cannot reproduce the problem...I always get a valid "\"

so the upper part is the wrong one? and for example Abra Ca Dabra (1.00) screenshot.jpg is in a subfolder called "1.00" ?

hmm..actually the batcher should act like the standard loader.
So enabled/disabled sets should get enabled/disabled the same way when updating to a new dat.
I will double check this

« on: 18 September 2017, 18:22 »
Hmm...here at home with MAME .189 %D=good works fine.
Well, it enables sets which have driverstatus good....whatever this means ;-) Most likely this does not necessarily mean they are 100% fully emulated and 100% working....but since there is no other useable flag you're coming close to your goal...
Of course you need to keep devices/biossets and maybe parents/clones enabled for your selection to get valid set selections...

hmm...I will have a look at it...actually yes, a %D=good should select sets with this driver status flag in the xml...doesn't work...maybe the syntax was different...I will check later at home.

clrmame Discussion / Re: CMP and mass rebuilding of ROMs
« on: 12 September 2017, 15:51 »
That's a job for the batcher..
drag'n drop the datfiles in the profiler and when loading them, select more than one...this will let the batcher open..
There you will find options to auto-create/assign rompaths etc etc...
Guess there are some tosec gurus here in the forum which can give some more details.....

well...actually there is an option in the scanner's context menu to open specific sets at specific urls....you only need to configure it correctly ;-)

They do work fine here...
Double check if it shows https instead of http for you when hovering over the links, otherwise you got bad cached data.
If the scanner says you're missing files, you're missing files ;-) A few more details would be helpful

clrmame Discussion / Re: Fix errors on evil sets after rebuild
« on: 10 September 2017, 18:34 »
oh yeah...what a bad one.....the cache file didn't hold the correct value for the flag which is responsible for the naming control.....so when you received the data for the first time it would act correctly, as soon as you quit/restart cmpro and load the cached information it would act weird....
guess it was hidden for so long time because noone actually uses not-merged sets (;-) ...only in combination with the merge tag usage)...
So here is a new build
https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/binaries/cmpro20170910.rar
handle with care....the missing set flag was pretty obvious, though I'd like to do more testing to see possible sideeffects
...and yes...you may now run into a lot of "wrong named" roms messages since up to today it always used the "merge" information for naming in your unmerged case...which is wrong (well, in terms of auditing....merge information points to identical byte data...so not really an issue...just a different name).

yeah it seems to be a wrong behaviour...the rom merge entries in the dat are a bit tricky for these sets...but actually merge attributes shouldn't be checked in non-merged mode....guess there is one place where cmpro maps it wrong...will do further investigation

clrmame Discussion / Re: Fix errors on evil sets after rebuild
« on: 09 September 2017, 17:41 »
due to bios and device relations you will never really have standalone sets...and yes...non merged are purely a waste of space....most of the files are doubled...ok in times of multi-terabyte hds not really a problem...but still....unusual storing method for mame collectors.
but I will double check the problem of course when I find a little time
