> I am not sure ... If I right click and copy or cut the album cover and then paste it, the resulting file size is less than the original. If I drag the album artwork to a folder and then drag the file over it is the correct file size. This has been an issue with older versions and happens with any artwork I use. ...

On the other hand people wrote, "the resulting file size is _greater_ than the original".
