How to import only the rekordbox database (grid, hot & memory cues) from USB drive, without the music files in rekordbox 6.8.2?
I need to import the playlists from my USB drive to my computer, but since the music files are already in my computer and organized in specific folders, i want to import/copy only the rekordbox database (grid, hot cues, memory cues) and then use the "relocate" function to find the music files that already are in my computer. In the past (older versions of rekordbox), when importing a playlist from USB, there was an option before starting the process where you could choose "copy" - copying the music file and respective rekordbox database, or "do not copy" - copying only rekordbox database. But now, in this version of rekordbox (6.8.2) when i try to import a playlist, this option does not appear anymore, and it ends up mandatorily copying the music files, resulting in a duplicate file of the tracks in the computer. How can i copy from USB only the rekordbox database (grid, hot cues, memory cues), to then use the relocate function to link with the music files that already are in my computer?

As you wrote, behavior to import playlisst from Device has been changed from rekordbox 6.8.1.
If the associated tracks don't exist in the Collection, rekordbox will copy the music files to the computer from the device.
If the music files already exist in the computer, delete the copied music files then execute Relocate Missing Tracks.
