[Plugin: Media File Sizes] Wrong ??? file sizes displayed

    Hello,
    I have tried your unique plugin for some time now and thought it was working fine. I mean I can see the file sizes on the library. I canNot see it on the file’s “edit media page” (although I have it checked on the Options Screen) but I can live with it.

    What really bugs me though is that I noticed that the size displayed is much larger than what is should be.
    For example a jpg file on the server reads 292kb while when downloaded is ONLY 72kb and 74kb on the disk.
    Another one, on my computer reads 779kb but after being uploaded to the server it shows up as 1138kb.

    There must be something wrong. I can not justify a x4 (on the smaller file) increase on the server?
    Are you aware of the issue? Please enlighten.
    It still behaves the same after upgrading to v1.2

    Thanks for your time

    Marikamitsos –
    You’re talking about Image files, which WordPress resizes upon upload and stores lots of different sizes of. Making you aware of how space these files are using is a large part of the point of this plugin!

    The file on your desktop might be 74kb, but once you upload it and store the original, a small, a medium, a large, and a thumbnail… you’re likely using that 292kb!

    However, perhaps users could benefit from both (original and total size).. I’ll look into that.
