Bug ID: 486902
Summary: Feature: Stripping excess tag padding, setting for
maximum padding size
Classification: Applications
Product: kid3
Version: 3.9.x
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: uflei...@users.sourceforge.net
Reporter: ehkd3...@nyfb.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I was disappointed to find that there seems to be no way to rewrite files (in
this particular case m4a files) to limit/remove excess tag padding space.
I removed very large cover art images from a group of files, and found that the
files were still the same size, wasting quite a bit of space.
The amount of space to leave should be configurable, and perhaps a reasonable
default for this option would be 1k of padding space? If changes to tags/cover
art leaves padding in excess of this, the file should be re-written to remove
that wasted space.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load m4a files with embedded cover art images
2. Remove the images
3. Note that the file size is has not shrunk.
OBSERVED RESULT
Files are same size
EXPECTED RESULT
Excess padding space should be removed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 3.9.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
An example of a tool that does this (although only for mp3 files) is eyeD3
--max-padding=1024
