I'm using version 2.49 german.

I copy the cover from one file to another, doing:

1. delete cover in file A
2. save
3. for file B copy cover to clipboard (cover is 31kb)
4. for file A insert cover from clipboard (new cover is now 79kb)
5. save

This gives me problems because my Philips Blue Ray Player only supports cover size up to 60kb.

Insert cover from file is OK.  
So a workaround would be to extract cover from file A and then insert in file B.

Example cover was uploaded
