Can I set a default directory for "Extract Cover"? I know I can set one for "Cover Art Directory", but I'd like to also be able to set one when I extract.
Right now, it always puts it in the same folder as the file I'm extracting it from. Which is not what I want to do.
Thanks!

If you extract with an action then you can set a path as part of the filename.
If you extract via the GUI, you can select a path where to put the file.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed! I had been using the GUI, and I didn't want to select a different path each time.
But I just created an Action, and that did it. Appreciate the quick response!
