Question Shown file size using Imagmagick or GD2

Hi there,

I justed changed my complete vBulletin 3.6.x and Photopost 5.62 installation with database and photos to another server.

With that I changed from GD2 to IM in admin menu:
Quote:
Imaging Integration (IM or GD)
Select ImageMagick or GD1/GD2 for image processing
Works fine after setting the path to mogrify somewhere in the menu. The IM processed photos are a little sharper than those recalculated by GD2 - all is fine.

BUT - now comes the clou - the file sizes shown by Photopost under the pictures are those file sizes of the photos before prossing by IM. So, an example: Photopost says, the image is 1235.0 KB in size (exact size before uploading), but in real the reduced picture has 63.1 KB left only. This happens with IM only, but with all pictures, even when the file size is only little higher before uploading.
Using GD2 -> Photopost shows exactly the correct new file sizes after processing.

So, where is the problem, please?
I would like to change that. Please do not tell me to update Photopost, I really really would like to avoid that for several reasons.

Can I edit somewhere the code, please?

Thanks a lot
Markus
