MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - diffent maximum sizes of the same cover in automatic and manual importations

Dear Sirs,
most of us know that when one imports a cover into a record through the clipboard or open file, when it is larger than a tweakable size threshold (default 1600 pixel) it will be resized to it, accordingly, the size ratio being preserved.
However, I have observed that the automatic importing of metadata through the add book feature, when the checkbox "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name" is set to true, and therefore a large cover is picked up from the respective bookfile, provides a cover size which is about 90% of the above mentioned threshold. Among the settings of this built-in "plug-in" there is unfortunately no mention about the covers and its maximum size.
Is there a way to make more size-consistent those different ways of putting cover on metadata?
Thanks for the attention
