Very long time of parsing of tags (mp3, mp4, ...)

[Vladimir Skuzovatkin]

Hi!

Please forget about this problem ("Very long time of parsing of tags").
After some changes I can not reproduce it.
Sorry for the trouble.


I have another question about the attached image.
I found that the file size does not decrease after removal of the picture.
For example,
    mp3 file without picture have size: 2 078 346 bytes,
    size of jpg file to attach: 314 225 bytes,
    size of this mp3 file after attaching the picture: 2 390 164 bytes,
    and size of this mp3 file after deleting of all attached pictures: 2 390
164 bytes.

Why file size does not decrease after removal of the picture?

For example, I use the next code to delete all pictures from mp3 file:

        TagLib::MPEG::File* pFile = ...;
        ...
        TagLib::ID3v2::Tag* pID3v2Tag = pFile->ID3v2Tag();
        if (pID3v2Tag)
        {
            TagLib::ID3v2::FrameList frameList=
pID3v2Tag->frameList("APIC");
            {
                if (!frameList.isEmpty())
                {
                    std::list<TagLib::ID3v2::Frame*>::const_iterator it =
frameList.begin();
                    while (it != frameList.end())
                    {
                        std::list<TagLib::ID3v2::Frame*>::const_iterator
nextIt = it;
                        nextIt++;
                        pID3v2Tag->removeFrame(*it, true);
                        it = nextIt;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        ....
        pFile->save();

After performing of this code all pictures are detached, but size of file is
not decreased.
Probably, I did not correctly use the library?
