Hello,

I think I changed a setting somewhere and can't figure out what I did.  During a scan, clrmamepro will unzip some zipped sets into their own folders.

example:   megat.zip 

During a scan this set gets unzipped to its own fodler (roms\megat)

Now we have megat.zip in the roms directory and the roms unzipped into (roms\megat)

clrmamepro now says that there are unneeded/duplicate files for this set.

It doesn't do this for all sets, only some

Did I mess something up in the scanner or rebuilder options?

Thank you,
Jason

1st question would be: Why was it touched? Was it missing in the first place and either a rebuilder step or scanner fix missing picked it up from somewhere and added it? Or was something wrong with the file so that any kind of fix operation touched it?
If this is unknown, you can still check rebuilder->compress files needs to be ticked for rebuild operations. The scanner (fix missing for example) decides on its own which pack method to use for new files. Initially it simply counts the occurences of existing archives (or folders) in rompaths. So normally if you keep your files zipped, it will follow that.
You can move the unpacked files to a separate place and check if a normal scan unpacks the still existing archives again. Or you can move both and readd them either with the rebuilder or fixmissing/addpaths to see how they get added. In other words: Check if this is repeatable. Generally, hard to say what happened in old clrmamepro

...use the new tool instead ;-)
