Yep, spot on, that's what I mean. Just to default the new folder-window to the selected folder.

If it's simply the sum of what's missing, most of the parent/clone issues would already be taken care of. If you're missing a rom from the parent set, it doesn't appear in the clones as well (well, most cases anyway). That may only be true with the merging option I use (Split sets, where possible), but worth an ask anyway. If it's totally pointless, never mind, but if it's reasonably easy and painless to add.... ;)

hmmm....'Don't show statistics' is not ticked here, don't remember unticking it :\ Ah well, moving on....

An option for this (off by default) is fine with me.
