Art assets storing their default size

It would be fantastic if we could store default sizing for our art assets. I upload my own images with X * Y dimensions in the naming to remind myself the correct aspect ratio for the image. I also see from my marketplace purchases of art from Gabriel Pickard he's named the assets with the dimensions. Would it not be possible to extend the meta data stored for each art asset to include a width and height value so they can be dragged to the VTT how they are meant to look, instead of then needing to got to the context menu and set dimensions, it's a whole load of extra actions when building every map. I think this single change would save me loads of time when building maps.  
This! I would be happy already if roll20 would just parse the filename and look for dimensions like X * Y there.
This seems like it would be a huge user experience benefit. I bought some dungeon tiles assuming they'd have the necessary meta-data to size, but it sounds like there's no way to do that right now. If it's based on the image resolution and the map's pixel/unit scale it should be possible without adding any additional data or ui to the asset library. Just a size calculation when dropping the tile onto the map
