Reporting and pinnig option disappeared [#18404]

[FJvH]

Seems that as of 2507 the pinning option (thru Right click -> Send to -> Pin) has disappeared.
And as of 2508 the option to create reports (thru the File menu) is no longer there.
Both options were still present in 2506.
Have these options been moved to somewhere else or ...?
N.b. I am using MM5 in the Dutch language and the dark material design skin.

Thanks.

Hi,
As it can be read in https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18405

"Reports are moved to Context Menu Send To -> File List due the fact many users complained Reports are Grayed out. Send to Menu is only available when there is selection, so now there is no confusion when reports can be created."

You guys seem to delight in shooting yourself in the foot.
Now there is yet another thing to confuse migrating customers and to generate negative posts here.

• MM5 is now one of the very few applications where Export facilities are not in the File menu

• MM5 export facilities are not even in the MM5 menu item explicitly named File>Export ?!

• And this is a break from previous versions of MM for next to no gain ... I can't understand why you thought that a disabled menu item was less confusing than a missing menu item

• defunct communications ... the person manning the Help Desk and writing the documentation didn't know it was changing ... and the change list available to Users just says "Improve organization of the Reports functions"

Suggest that you add it back into the File Menu (also), and if it is pressed when 0 tracks are selected, display an info message telling the User to select some files first. And if some tracks are selected, go to the same place that the SendTo>FileList takes them.

Otherwise you could add menu text lines into File>Export saying something like
File List exports
available at Right
Click "Send To" menu

Maybe, but then we do not say it was an accident and play dead.

Thanks for pointing out unlike some others it took us full weekend to act apron it

Yes it is a good community, and I like being here also. The tone is set by general admiration for, and love of, MediaMonkey I think.

This is why I see your tone in the best of constructive context, not as brag how MM5 is bad.

Should be resolved in next few builds before 5.0.2 stable is out.
