It would be trivial to add a menu item for it but then you get people 
complaining because they can't find the option they want because there 
are to many menu items.  Sometimes you just can't win :(

If the tags are id3 tags then it should find the images in them. If they 
are vorbis (Xiph) tags then we currently don't support reading the 
Picture blocks from them (taglib does appear to support them but nobody 
has updated our MetaIOFLACVorbis class to support them). Of cause 
patches are welcome :)
