If I try to load a file which doesn´t exist anymore with that filename, it will be marked (crossed) and the deck show "error".
I can then click on "Relocate missing file" which remove the cross and the database is now fine again.
I problem that now exist is, that I am still completly unable to use the relocated file. The Deck show "error" even if I use another deck or unload the file first.
--> I am not able to play the file during that VDJ session anymore.
The only solution I know is to restart VDJ. Then everthing work again.
Could you clear the "error" after "Relocate missing file" please? Or is there another solution?
Thank you.

Further to this, I've just been testing things here and found that not only does the track not load, but despite being able to scan it once relocated, opening any of the editors results in no waveform, just a black space. VDJ clearly knows the file is there because you can scan it.
I also tried removing it from the VDJ database and re-adding it (using the VDJ right click options), but it still wouldn't load.

Did that just appear with latest beta?
Because I didn't have those problems with earlier builds.

Not able to reproduce.
If I have an unavailable track in a playlist, and use relocate, then load the file it loads fine.
If I load the file to the deck first, then it requires first to unload the deck or load a different track, but after that I can drag the relocated file from the playlist to the deck without problem.

Okay, new Test with Build 2162:
The only way that work is 5a/6a. 5b/6b will end that you are not able to load the file.
0. Play a file more than 45sec.
1. Stop VDJ
2. Rename File
3. Start VDJ go to history folder and load the file --> shows error
4. Select "relocate missing file"
5a. Try to load the file where the deck shows error --> still error
6a. Unload "this" deck, try again work now.
5b. Try to load the file on any other deck shows error (why?)
6b. Unload do not help now, you are not able to load that track in any deck.

I put ALL my music on a NEW Hard Drive - "Error" - no file when loading - WHAT is the QUICK steps for CLEARNING the Cache Memory so the "old" ghosted files are gone?

If it's the same folder structure, VDJ should be able to recognise your files. Even if the drive letter changed.
But that is not an automated process. The filepath is corrected if you browse a folder.
If you just copied your files to a new hdd, opened VDJ and searched for a song, it might not load.
So please do the following:
On the left folder browser in VDJ select your root folder where your music is stored on the new hdd. Do a rightclick and select recurse.
Now search for a song again and drag it to a deck.
Does it load?

I created a NEW File Structure on New Drive.
I did RECURSE - however, I still have a LIST of songs from the OTHER drive.
Is there a WAY to start V-DJ with a FRESH/NEW slate - delete the CACHE - then I will reload, add to search database & recurse?
Thank you!

Use the round browser options button on the left toolbar of the browser (just above the A+/A- buttons) and select Database->Remove missing files from search db.
