Importing full MAME set, put ROMS and CHDs in same folder?

The way the MAME roms are distributed,  the roms are in one directory and the CHDs in another, with CHD sub-directories for each game.  Before I import using the “Import MAME full set” tool, should I move the CHD subdirectories under the overall Rom directory?  Or can the tool import a whole path consisting of multiple directories?  From watching the tutorial video, it doesn’t look like you can select multiple directories  Thanks.

For ease of use put them in the same folder, but you can have them anywhere as long as you tell the emulator the paths either via the mame UI or directly in the mame.ini file.

Okay, Thanks.  I’ll probably move the CHD subdirectories to the single ROM folder.
