If I send a file with the context menu of MediaCenter to WaveLab and edit the file (cutting, normalising, making a one channel mono file from a stereo file and much more) and subsequently save it (in higher solution or lossless) MediaCenter still shows the old values.

You might want to enable "update for external changes":
Tools > Options > Library & FOlders > Configure auto import > tasks > update for external changes

Note that this will only happen when auto import is triggered.

You can update individual files with:

<right click on file> Library Tools > Update Library (from tags)

Dear Brian, it's a bit tricky because I have a German version and the
translation sometimes may not be the exact counterpart of the english version.
I enabled "update for external changes" and will so if it works.
As far as I could trace there is no "Update library" after a right click on a file.
My options are as in the appended screenshot.

I think the option you want is "Datei-Tags in Bibliothek übernehmen"

Bibliothek-Tags in Datei übernehmen - writes library tags to the file
Datei-Tags in Bibliothek übernehmen - updates library tags from the file

Thanks, "Datei-Tags in Bibliothek übernehmen" works.
I again disabled the "Auto-Import" option. It doesn't
update the information for the files but doubles them
in MediaCenter that you get two files of one in the library -
one with the old and one with the new entries.

Something is wrong then.  You must be creating a new file in the process.  Possibly backing up the original file in the same location?  If you're happy with your process, do as you please.  But auto import does not create duplicates.  You can find out what's going on by letting auto import run and then checking the file names of the ones that appear as duplicates.  That should tell you where these extra files are coming from.

Random thought on why there's duplicates, but conversion cache or something like that?

[aliciaviola]

The files are in the same place and folder.
In MediaCenter appear two entries for the same file - one for the old (with the old information for bitrate...) and one for the new one (with the new information). Both are playing the modified file.
