Yes, that's absolutely right - you have to copy the image files manually. It doesn't matter when you copy them; they just have to be there at the time that you build the book.

After adding the cover image in Creator (via the menu) I had the cover image two times at the beginning of the book. I had to remove the <img src=...> tag from the HTML before importing to get rid of the double.
That's right - the cover image should not be linked in the HTML - just add it using the "Cover Image" page of Mobi Creator.

As I say, what I do is to use standard names for as much as I can - I always call the book file "book.html" and the cover image "cover.jpg". That way I can just copy the opf file from a previous book, double click it to open it in Mobi Creator, and edit the metadata. I don't have to create it from scratch every time.
