When adding books using the option 'read metadata from file contents' I get .jpg images for the covers in the folder along with the .opf and .lit files

When I try to add books with this option unchecked (so that the filename populates the metadata), I no longer get the .jpg cover files in the folder.

Is the cover image considered 'metadata', and if so, how do I retain this image when I import the .LIT file?

I also can not download any of the covers... I've tried that. I get the following error even though the title and author are correct:

'Could not find cover for this book. Try specifying the ISBN first'.

Thanks,

Jeg.
