conversion-settings / path / album-list

In my opinion the following things make working with foobar a bit faster & more pleasant:

- the 'settings...'-page of conversion is available by preferences or by context menu (right click on files). Its a good idea to place the 'settings...' button in 'select file writer preset'-dialog.
This makes conversion an one-click-by-right-button - action instead of two-right-clicks-and-navigating-to-each-menupoint.
It's a fast job to change the settings (for instance replaygain yes or not)

- while doing conversion or applying replaygain the filename cannot be seen without clicking and jumping to end of 'source/destination' if the path is too long.
In my opinion splitting to path & file (filename without full path/directory) gives sense to source/destination - field/area

- Album-list is great but any mp3 that is played and has %album%-tag will appear in the list - the list becomes bigger and bigger with files I don't want to have in that list (but they are still in my restricted mp3-directories) as I don't have the full album or I don't want to be able to select that song by album-list.
On the other hand songs, which full album I also don't have but which I like a lot, should be able to be selected at album-list (so album-list is not an only-album-list to me but an album-and-favourite-songs-list - keep in mind that this is sth. different to working with a 'permanent' favourite playlist what I don't like)
