MAME dummy files feature request

Description of a situation:
In the database section, a game has 3 clones. The main game (MAIN) contains 5 roms in it and the clones (CLONE1, CLONE2) contain 1 rom each, marked with X (bad dump). The main game zip file exists but both its clones zip files do not exist.
Since the clones consist of bad dumps and RC can create bad bumped roms, i believe it would be great if RC had a fix option to automatically create the 2 new zip files (named CLONE1 and CLONE2), generate the bad dumped roms and add them in the zip files. At this moment, RC will create the bad dumped roms only if the zip file exists, it will not create a new zip file.
Perhaps in the database tree, rightclicking on a game (or clone) could have an option "create empty zip with dummy files"...
