Hi Roman,

I remember sometime ago You mentioned the Rebuilder doesn't move valid CHD (only list them), but the Scanner does it... so I tried this:

1. put a lot of CHD from different systems under one empty valid directory (3dobios/orbatak). Scanner... and result was all CHD were moved to backup folder... except orbatak.chd
2. put same lot of CHD to one empty valid folder (dc/18wheelr). Scanner moved CHD from clones games of 18wheelr (japan, etc.) to their own directories, but all the rest (non-18wheel related), even valid, were again moved to backup folder...

It seems this option only works for the game/clones of the directory the CHD are in, and it could not be used as a generic "move/sort/rebuild" CHD for all system...

I was testing this because I accidentally moved around 1200 CHD to a different location

Guess I'll have to do all this CHD rebuilding by hand...??

Regards,

Put all CHD files into one root folder always worked for me..
Should work with latest version.
(did with older versions of CMP and I have not tried for some time)
Then when you scan CMP should add the folders
EDIT set CMP backup folder to same drive as the set lives
so anything moved to back-up folder is quick and not 'moving' to a different drive

muchas gracias!!!
I'm using mame once again since some years back, and so, I'm rusty with all these "new for me" software lists, chd, etc...
Putting all in a rompath did the trick
Salu2,

Scanner's fix unneeded scan moves unknown chds from a rompath root to its correct place. It will create the needed subfolder for it and moves it there, using the correct name.
So yeah, put it on a rompath root and let the scanner do the work
