I've been playing around with TV-shows and for shows which aren't recognised by TVDB I've made my own cover-images. XBMC shows them ok but I can't get those images to load as episode stills in XMM no matter how I name them. Is this possible in XMM and if so, what's the naming-convention?
When you have a look at the .mdb with Access you can see the name and it's format: YYYYMMDDhhmmss-season-episode-the-title-of-the-episode. The appropriate column is cover in table episodes. Easiest way is to go to the editor of the episode and do a copy & paste from your clipboard.

I see the names of the images already imported, but I want to know if it's possible to automatically import stills when importing new episodes of a series, just like the covers of movies. As far as I can see XMM doesn't support this. Am I right?
As far as I know the scripts do take the episode stills. Maybe some sites don't provide these. At least IMDB should do. On the other hand you can take a scene from the movie file directly by the device scanner. But that's always the same time range set in the options. As I'm @work at the moment I can't go further with explanation but you will surely find the options yourself.
