+DATs that have ''<romvault forcepacking="fileonly"/>'' in the header will force the **Mixed (Archive as File)** setting unless explicitly overridden by DAT rule.
+</WRAP>
 If a DAT explicitly specifies a forced packing type in its header then that will be used. The **Override DAT** option allows you to override that specification and use your preferred settings instead.

 ==== Single Archive ====
 Enabling this option will turn the DATs in these directories into single archives. If enabled, this option allows you to specify how to handle subdirectories. The options are:
-  * **Add SubDirs**
+  * **Use subdirs for all sets**
-  * **No SubDirs**
+  * **Do not use subdirs for sets**
-  * **Add SubDirs if conflicts**
+  * **Use subdirs for rom name conflicts**
-  * **Add SubDirs if multiple roms**
+  * **Use subdirs for multi-rom sets**
+  * **Use subdirs for multi-rom sets or set/rom name mismatches**
 This setting is extremely powerful and enables you to build a collection to match TOSEC torrents. It can also be used to create uncompressed sets without requiring subdirectories.
