    Understood, thanks for the quick reply. As additional feedback, I think PNG (or any other graphic file format for that matter) should receive the same treatement as a JPG file and hence include the media_info information (regardless the fact that jpg might be the most popular format for photos). Perhaps media_info should include additional information in that case (a file format field for example).
