Some albums show second file artwork in folder?

[zpoison]

I have some scanned artwork and the files keeps showing the second file in the folder
Artwork files are in the same folder as the audio files

Also selected picture (chose picture/Link to the original picture file) keeps reverting back every time I close Musicbee

You do have 'primary picture' (or whatever it is called) ticked when you choose your pics?
The scans are not pdfs?

It's a folder pretty normal, I have took a screen snipe which shows both inside the folder and also the absence of cover art for this album. I restarted, I did F5 refresh.

my other problem is that if I use the editing tool to show MB which file the image (the first in the list, it's weird since the software should usually grab this one and show it)  after I edit the artwork section (tag editing board/ artwork) it still keeps reverting back everytime I reboot MB

I don't know if i can be of any help but maybe MB reads the cue sheet and not the actual file? Would it display the artwork without the cue sheet in the folder?

Or "cover.jpg" may not be included in the list of files MB expects to be cover art? Check this in the preferences.

Now everything is added in the check boxes except "back" (as shown in the picture)
Previously (with the same identical result) I was using only the "." option because , in theory it look like a wildcard selection that would show any format of any image that is in the folder (first image listed in the folder)

The problem persist, I have 2 problems
1) some albums refuse to show album cover
2) some cover art keeps reverting back to the second picture listed in the folder instead of the first which is the album cover

I did create a new library just in case, problems have not changed
