Removed [Added] in title to get attention for some minor remaining corrections:
  1. If technically feasible in the context menu the resolved destination folder names should not be in quotes right of the action name. This make the context menu entries quite wide. Better in a next line in grey, and properly indented, as on my mockup.
  2. The "Other Folder" should remember and show the last used filepath below, as also on the mockup.
  3. a) The order is yet not ideal. Should be consistent from "nearest to furtherest away". b) Capitalization is strange and inconsistent. c) Still "the" in front of "same" folder. d) "Set subfolder names" plural, as you set both name schemes in a single dialog now. That way the user gets already the correct expectation where to find the subfolder naming schemes.
After all improvements it should look like this:

Convert to same folder
Convert to same folder and move originals to subfolder:
  Originals
Convert to subfolder:
  Scale p50 80
Convert to other folder…
  …/full/or/last/portion/of/path/to/Last-Export-Folder
Set subfolder names…

P.S.: If your code uses the destination string variable both in the opened and closed dropdown and you hence require capitalization, then only capitalize the destinations. Then its readability is way more consistent:

Convert to Same Folder
Convert to Same Folder and move originals to subfolder:
  Originals
Convert to Subfolder:
  Scale p50 80
Convert to Other Folder…
  …/full/or/last/portion/of/path/to/Last-Export-Folder
Set subfolder names…


Still, I would prefer proper English capitalization.

I have to capitalize all - except as, in…

Will change that.

Capitalize all according to HIG. Ok!
And please reorder and omit the "the".
