I was trying to export files to a external application (Foobar2000) from the Auto DJ preview panel and it shows a pop up window indicating No Files have been selected even when they were. I don't know if this was supposed to be like this or if it's actually a bug. Another thing I would like to notice is why you don't have right click menu in the preview area, it should add more functionality to the preview panel.

I disagree both with your estimation of this being a software bug, and with your statement that 'it should have more right-click functionality'.
It's only a preview panel, with the sole purpose of presenting you with some indication of what will be played with the current (but not yet applied) settings.

To accomplish what you are trying to do:
Simply click 'Start DJ' instead of 'Preview', and then perform your desired actions on the 'Playing Tracks' panel.

If you read carefully I was hesitate to call it a bug that's why I included the clarification but anyway it's not a big deal. Regarding to functionality, that's never too much to have, you can't even select the file in order to obtain some information about it. That alone should be enough but I think that should be a post for the suggestions section. Thank you for your response.

Well, it was your decision to post this in 'Bug Reports'.

…you can't even select the file in order to obtain some information about it. That alone should be enough…
I disagree again.
It's only a temporary preview pop-up panel, intended to show what songs would be played if/after you press the 'Auto DJ' button.
It is in no way a 'file-managing' panel that needs, or should have any file management functionality.

As I said, all you need to do is click the 'Auto DJ' button instead of the 'Preview' button and you will be able to do all the things you are wanting to do.

If you believe this is something that would be an actual improvement that would benefit a substantial amount of MusicBee users, you should probably create a Wishlist topic for it.
