There is an action to import covers from file, see the help:

> **[Import Cover from File – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/import-cover/)**
>
> Documentation on the Import Cover action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Wildcards are allowed in the format string, so you could use  
`*.jp*`  
which would then take the first file in the folder that matches that pattern.
