Comment (by peterdavehello):

 As this looks to be a strange bug which makes the size of the uploaded png
 images super fat and then wastes the bandwidth and disk space, would you
 guys consider to provide fix tool or plugin or something like that to scan
 the scaled png images and make them to use the indexed-color as the origin
 images to "fix" the size problem? Could be super helpful! Thanks a lot!
