Hi Roman. Thought I'd chime in with a couple of features I've always wanted to see:

1. drag n drop support for chds

I would like to be able to just drag a chd into the panel to rebuild, and for cmp to automatically create the right directories; duplicating the file where appropriate.

2. download dats

Could history and mameinfo be downloaded via the www profiler, and sent into the mame root directory?

Thanks as always- keep up the great work!

> 1. drag n drop support for chds

chds aren't being rebuild since the rebuilder is currently crc32+size based (+ additional sha1/md5 check) while the chds don't have such information stored in the database/mame export. They do have a sha1/md5 stored for the decompressed image in the chd header though, so a header compare would be the quickest way to add rebuilder support for them. Something which is on my todo list for quite some time.
For now, simply move the chd to a rompath (no subfolder) and the scanner automatically moves it to the correct place (also creates the correct subfolder automatically).


> 2. download dats

history/mameinfo datfile aren't related to dats holding set information and so it's not related to the profiler. Support for downloading these with the www profiler is not planned.
