#409 Image formats (jpeg, png, bitmap) do not include streamsize

[Tom Terrific]

Image formats (jpeg, png, bitmap) results do not include a streamsize or streamsize_proportion for general or image section of results.

To reproduce the results run “mediainfo –Full –Language” on a image file.

What is the utility of this? For images, this is always 100%.
Maybe for coherency with other streams?

I was asking why image formats didn't return a stream size / stream percentage.

So the reason is that I was running mediainfo on files to "determine" what type they were.

For example a podcast file contains image data & audio data - by looking at the fact that the audio data is 99% of the file you can determine it's a audio file instead of something else.

It was a simple way of looking at a generic container and looking at what stream had the largest percentage of data.

So it's a bit of a pain to code around the fact that some containers and streams return a stream size and some don't - just causes special case checking code.

I'd love it if ALL streams always had a stream size & stream percentage.
