I get images with the grid style, simply by changing from narrative to
grid. All my images are external. Are your images, perchance,
internal? if so you may have uncovered a problem.

No, images are not if and only if the file name has not changed. This
saves some generation time. Others are.

The copy is automatic.

This one I can't answer.
