Hi fishnc,
Under Tools / Options / Library, do you have Scan File Directories for Artwork checked?
Under Tools / Options / Tags & Playlists do you have Artwork / Image Location set to Save Image To Tag (and folder)?
I also prefer the "first image per Album / Series" to be folder.jpg AND leave Format for Multiple Images blank.
Under Tools / Options / Metadata lookup I have both Artist Images AND Artwork checked but I prefer not to update tags.
Finally, make sure that the image type is set to Cover(Front). This can be seen using the File Properties. You should see "Stored in Tag" on one of normally two images.
If working with File Properties, try whenever possible try to work on ALL files in an album at one time!
Use the "File To Edit" sub-node to show Unknown Artwork and Inconsistent Artwork. I find it best to use the Music node to drill down from.
It has taken me quite a while, but I now get ALL my sync'd files, playlists etc. with a correct image on my devices. My objective was to have each album with just one front cover image saved to both the file tag and the folder. (Images for Artists / Composers / Publishers for another day!).
Hope this helps.
