 right now, then will tend to this.

 I had thought of that as well actually. My original idea for this was to
 make the field expandable, mimicking the post status, visibility, and post
 date fields.

 A majority of times, you don't display the image in its full size on the
 front end anyways.

 When I originally thought of this, I was setting up a slider. It was not
 loading very fast, and I wanted to check the image sizes to see how large
 they were. Because I was showing a custom image size on the front end, the
 overall image size would have only given me a hint as to whether the files
 were too large, but it would be more useful to have the file size of the
 actual image size I was displaying.
