Can images be embedded in Scribus?

I ask because the image is for the front cover of another book. That
book and all its files are in a different folder. I do not know the
name of the image file on disk, but I renamed the entire folder, which
should make Scribus unable to see it. Nevertheless, even after
shutting down and restarting the entire computer, there it is still on
the pasteboard where I accidentally placed it from the Scrapbook. 

I can resize it and I can move it around. But any attempt to delete it
hangs Scribus in an endless loop with one CPU core hovering close to
100%.
