File size is not updated
When you add a song to rekordbox and later you edit the song, lets say in a way you cut some part of it the file size chance. You need to re-analyze song to map the new waveform but the file size is left unchanged, Reload tags don't help.
Can re-analyze or reload tags in future release also look on the file size?
For now only remove and add can help, but that's not nice solution :)
I saw that similiar problem is here, but no response there.

but a bigger problem is then the exporting to usb. Rekordbox think that the file is already on flash drive and don't replace the old file in usb with new file. Hot cues, memory points and waveform is replaced. The waveform then really don't say nothing about the track because its incorrect . some MD5 check will be really useful.

If you are PHYSICALLY altering the audio file, I recommend removing that track and re-importing it. Do not attempt to simply re-analyse and expect things to perform properly. There are many other things that can go wrong including incorrect audio buffering.
So re-analyzing track will not remove the data from rekordbox and create new one? It just re-analyze the waveform?
I will then remove the file from libraryand add it again. But I'm now really interest whats the difference between 'analyze track' and what everything happend when you add the song to library.
No, it simply re-processes the waveform. As you can see, it doesn't even update the file size. It could also be used to re-process the beat grid (if you have selected a different BPM range) or add the key.
This isn't what's happening with your other post, is it? Those waveforms aren't damaged because you changed the audio file?
No Pulse, thats something that happening to me from 4.0.x version. Now when i re-analyze the collection with the 4.0.6 version lot of track had some waveform data lost. The files was the same one no change on them.
Okay; will deal with that issue in that thread.
