My previous reply still isn't approved yet... with pics attached.
However, I took the plunge and tried the fix option on my roms, and indeed the few I tried, it zipped them. I tried the individual fix options specifically and its the "Remove useless ROM" operation that is zipping them. A related bug is that it was not detecting duplicate ROMs correctly, or at all. And yet, they were detected, sort of. I had 7 duplicates my have list was 3370 but i had 3377 files in the dir but none of the files were marked duplicate, only "Not needed here". and after I closed the ROM dir in romcenter and then checked the db in the left plane 7 games were tstill listed as green/have... when I clicked the green db entry the data in the right most pane showed the file as missing/red. Using the clean up db option didn't fix the stray haves. I had to delete the rdt and rebuild after delete the duplicate files manually, which took a while, cause I only knew the correct file name from the have list, not the actual file name on disk. And after deleting the duplicates all my ROMs still show as "Not needed here"
