Normal topicArtwork Size in bytes column?

Is it possible to get a column that displays the artwork in bytes? I am using BluOS for my library and the limitation is that the artwork not exceed 600KB. I am trying to figure out a way to quickly scale the artwork in my library (currently around 55000 tracks) to be compliant with BluOS.

To also have an option in the Manipulate Artwork action in action manager to find artwork that is a certain size based on bytes rather than H | W and then scale downwards to achieve the desired size in bytes would be awesome.

The Artwork Size column displays width x height.

You can write a main window filter (⌘F) which tests the artwork size in bytes and then hides or closes files which do not match the filter.

However, for 55000 tracks it is easier to use the batch processor to identify all tracks where the artwork is > 600,000. The same action could attempt to compress the image reducing the size in bytes. This is done by converting the image to jpg if required, then adjusting the compression factor. If this fails, the size of the image (w x h) could be reduced.

The Artwork Information and the Indexed Artwork statements can extract the size in bytes of artwork items. You can use this to either scale downwards or compress an image using Manipulate Artwork. The Compress artwork if size is greater than setting in Manipulate Artwork can be used to try the compression. Note that there is no guarantee that the target size is reached. You have to test the resultant size.
