It would be useful to add an automatic (optional) CHD format recognition to Dir2Dat.

For example, Dir2Dat output for kinst CHD folder is:
rom ( name kinst.chd size 93887853 crc 35d59b6f sha1 12184e135cab2a6372c65843f823478b213bbfa0 )
CHD size and crc are useless and file sha1 is not documented anywhere.

Correct Dir2Dat output should be:
disk ( name kinst sha1 81d833236e994528d1482979261401b198d1ca53 )

yes would make perfect sense. I put it on the list

I guess it's enough to only check files with .chd extension to be added as chds, isn't it? (And then the name will be without the extension to match MAME style).
Or should each file be checked for a chd header?
Or should the disk creation only be added optionally (checkbox)....is there anyone who needs chds as "plain files"?
