Collections don't have thumbnails

[ryan36_1]

Is there a setting that can be changed (either through UI or editing of xml file) that changes the default behavior of collections being automatically created in the 'locked' status? I found this thread troubleshooting the no image issue and unlocked and downloaded boxart for all my existing collections.

Now that I have identified the issue, I still have the problem that I have to go into all new automatically created collections, unlock the collection, and then rescan for missing metadata to get the boxart to work. I have found no setting to change this default behavior in the UI nor through a cursory scan of the xml files.
