I have a dir with FinalBurn-only games in it, and all I want to do is to check if the zipfiles I have there contain all the roms they should, without being told about missing zipfiles; to make it clear: I don't care if 1944.zip (with all its roms) is missing, because it's not supposed to be there at all, while I want to know if aburner.zip (which is there) misses some files.

Now I used the term "zipfiles" instead of "sets" because this tool's interface is somewhat confusing, or maybe I am missing something...

In the scanner there are two options, one about "sets" and one about "roms". If I run a scan checking missing "roms" but not missing "sets", I expect to know about missing roms in the sets (= zipfiles for me) I have there, instead I also get info about missing roms in sets that aren't there.

What a mess. Any clue?

Settings->Sets (in the combobox of the pathselector)
Enable the ones you want to scan or simply use the button "Avail. Games" to enable the ones you currently have in your rompaths. There's also an editbox which understands fnmatch syntax for regular terms.

What do you mean by "set" anyway? If you mean "zipfile", what's the point of reporting the missing roms, when the whole set containing them is missing?

A rom is a rom and a set is a set of roms. Like the pacman set has like 4 roms while there are dozens of pacman clonesets.
