When I click Scan for Covers it goes through and seems to scan all the image files in my library, but nothing actually updates until I click the big green Scan button.

The scan for covers will only look at books that don't already have a cover. Then it will do a search for a cover and select one if it is a very close match. You can try removing a cover and pressing scan for covers again to see if it works.

To clarify, the regular scan (green button) will only add/update audiobooks based on the directory structure. The scan for covers will actually lookup and apply a cover if it finds a good match.

Right, it is not very clear. I added it intending it for it to be temporary because the regular scanner was going to automatically match. Now that I know a good matching solution doesn't exist, auto-matching may not be happening anymore.
