Hi,

basically for two things.

1) why should a copy books to library anyhow do a preprocessing? I was assuming that the copy process is simple a copy and a rename of the directory according to the naming structure.

BOOK TITLE (166) --> BOOK TITLE (23)

2) preprocessing the files and changing quality in jpg's especially when you have a small image increases the filesize without any further info. so I was wondering why my folder size was changing?

Was the whole procedure planned? I mean if there is a good reason why the increase should be there im not against. I just dont see one :-(

thanks for the quick reply.

Joe
