Looking for opinions before changing anything.
The SIZE column currently shows the size of each file as it was when you added it — before metadata was stripped. Since stripping removes data, the file on disk is usually smaller once processing finishes, and the column doesn't update to reflect that.
For example, one of the test images goes from 711 bytes to 315 bytes after cleaning. The column keeps showing 711.
Neither behaviour is obviously right, which is why I'd rather ask than guess:
Show the original size (current)
- Consistent with BEFORE/AFTER for tags — the row describes the file you dropped
- Doesn't shift around while a batch is processing
- But it disagrees with what Finder/Explorer shows afterwards
Show the cleaned size
- Matches the file on disk once done
- But it's meaningless until processing finishes, so the cell would be empty or change mid-run
Show both (e.g. 711 B → 315 B)
- Most information, and makes the space saved visible
- But it's a fourth number in a row that already has BEFORE and AFTER counts, and it's tight at narrow window widths
If you use ExifCleaner regularly: which would you expect, and does the saved-space number matter to you or not? Reactions on this issue are fine if you don't want to write a comment — 👍 original, 🎉 cleaned, 🚀 both.
