Selecting the sets by the "available sets" button will scan the rompaths and enables all sets which were found. Found in the meaning of a simple set name - file name compare. If MAME changed a parent/clone relationship, you will enable clones. The checkbox parent/clones will enable the parent and all other clones if a match was found.
To sum it up: if you got a clone set on your disk, it gets enabled this way. It's not a MAME or clrmamepro issue.

Enabling 'parents only' (btw...keeping only parentsets is not a wise decision because there are sets were only the clones do work), can be done by using the 'select sets' edit box in the set information window.

- Disable parent/clones checkbox
- enter "%c=?*" (without the quotes) this enables all clones (%c = parentsetname, ? means at least one character, * is a wildcard for no char or any char sequence).
- Press invert and this will enable all parents only ;)

(although the 'invert button' won't be reapplied if the database changed, while the select-sets edit box will....so you have to repress invert....guess I will change that in the future somehow)
