I use Album Art Downloader XUI (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components_0.9/AlbumArtDownloader_XUI) to download high quality album covers. It has the ability to initiate a search with command line operators (http://album-art.sourceforge.net/index.php/Command_Line_Reference).
It can take:
Artist
Album
Save In Path

Right now I can use:
/artist "[album artist]" /album "[album]"
to pass it the correct search parameters. It would be awesome to be able to pass it:
/artist "[album artist]" /album "[album]" /path "[path]\[album artist]\[album]\folder.jpg"
where [path] is the path as defined by the user in the dBpoweramp settings.

Is there a Naming variable I'm missing? Or is it not available yet? Thanks.

You only have the full filenames, you might be able to use:
[TRIMLASTFOLDER][outfile][]\folder.jpg

Awesome. That almost worked perfectly. The string that works; for anyone who stumbles on this thread is:
/artist "[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]" /album "[album]" /path "[TRIMLASTFOLDER][outfile][]folder.jpg"
TRIMLASTFOLDER leaves the trailing forward-slash so there's no need for it before folder.jpg.

Thanks Spoon. :thumbup:
