CUETools[.exe] unchecking 'Copy album art tags' does not do anything unless 'Extract album art to' is also unchecked

I have 'Copy album art tags' unchecked

In interactive mode, embedded album art is used with no popup selection window offered even when folder.jpg exists with different album art and selected MusicBrainz metadata has CTDB album art available.

In batch mode embedded album art tags are always used.

Unchecking 'Copy album art tags' and 'Extract album art to'

In interactive mode, the selection window does popup but of course now no folder.jpg is written to output.

In batch mode folder.jpg used but of course now no folder.jpg is written to output.

Another possibility to prevent copying of album art tags is to uncheck Embed Folder.jpg in addition to the unchecked Copy album art tags.

Up to now, the behavior of CUETools concerning copying of album art tags is determined by the following conditions:
_config.CopyAlbumArt
_config.embedAlbumArt
_config.extractAlbumArt

If one of these conditions is true, then existing album art tags are copied.

• Add album art to tags:
  

  cuetools.net/CUETools.Processor/CUESheet.cs

  Line 2902 in 0853683

  if ((_config.embedAlbumArt || _config.CopyAlbumArt) && _albumArt.Count > 0)

  
  

  cuetools.net/CUETools.Processor/CUESheet.cs

  Line 2999 in 0853683

  if ((_config.embedAlbumArt || _config.CopyAlbumArt) && _albumArt.Count > 0)

• Load album art:
  

  cuetools.net/CUETools.Processor/CUESheet.cs

  Line 3076 in 0853683

  if (_config.extractAlbumArt || _config.CopyAlbumArt)

Doesn't unchecking Embed Folder.jpg make it necessary to run CUETools twice? Once to strip the old embedded cover art and again to embed the new cover art?

I'm trying to not copy the existing embedded cover not 'Copy album art tags' so I can embed a new cover.

Currently I've been removing the old embedded cover using a 3rd-party program to keep from encoding everything twice.
