copy album art based on %filename%

I did some searching for this on Google but haven't come up with a solution yet.

What I want to do is have foobar2000 utilize a JPG in the folder based on the filename.  I rip my CDs to FLAC images, and store the art with the files with the same name (so I have tool-aenima.flac, tool-aenima.jpg, tool-aenima.log, etc).  I've tried the setting of %filename%.jpg in the 'Copy other files to the destination folder' option, but it didn't work as hoped. 

If there's no way this can be done, I'll just have to go through the directories and make every album have a different folder (right now I sort into folders by artist).  Thanks in advance for your time and help.

EDIT - I thought I was in Tech Support, not General.  Sorry about the mix-up.

have you tried %artist%-%album%.jpg?

or just use *.jpg to copy all the jpgs across?

Hey, thanks for the response.  %artist%-%album% wouldn't do it, since these are stored as FLAC images with cuesheets, unfortunately.  As for *.jpg, that does work, but since there are multiple albums and their respective arts in each folder, it copies all of them to every folder that it converts to.
