"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
