Hello Roman,

While Cmpro generally runs quite well in WINE, I've found that checking the "Decompress CHD & check SHA1/MD5" box, the following exception is thrown to the results window:

"Can't run chdman ! Please check Settings/Compressor settings"

Is there a way to work around this problem?  I'm wondering if it's simply a path issue.  One thing I did notice is that Cmpro wants to use "chdman.exe" by default, so I changed that to "chdman" (the name of the linux executable"' but it made no difference to the above.  It would be nice to have this working as it's a pretty useful feature.

Thanks as always for any help/advice.

yes chdman.exe is needed and it has to be accessible for cmpro...i.e. it needs to be either included in %PATH% variable or go to settings->compressor->chdman and put in the full path/filename in the executable input field.

Ah yes, that makes sense.  As a procedure I think I'll just use chdman commandline from my default install.  A linux-native version of Cmpro would help but at least there's a way if people wanted to try it. Thanks, Roman.
