photo_info should also include the image size

I am developing a custom image picker for iOS which shows local images but also images from remote sources like Facebook, Dropbox and Instagram. To reserve the space for the image thumbnail I need to know the original image size. With Facebook and Instagram I get the image size with the initial API call, with Dropbox I have to load the full file before I get the image size.
-> could you please add the image size as an enty to the photo_info metadata and also update your Core API on Github (last commit in March 2013!!!) to support getting it back?
Thanks in advance
Makrus

    It would be awesome to have that info in photo_info metadata.
