it would be nice to add a column to show if files have album art in their tags.

You can also set a filter for the field %\_cover%:

%\_cover% IS ""

filters (shows) all the tracks that do not have a cover/albumart.

set up a new column, name it "Cover" or whatever.  
in the "Value" field enter "$if(%\_covers%,Y,)".  
this displays a "Y" if the track has a cover stored or nothing if not
