You can retrieve the resolution from the filenode when you loaded it into maya.

But consumption on disc? you could dir it with system command and then disassemble the return... but as usual thats different on different systems. eg german vs english

hmm... /B lists it too simple but /-C may help to get rid of the local related number grouping "." vs ","

well,
the files I'm checking for the size isn't into maya, just some files in a directory, that's because mental ray create 1k files, and I'm doing a script to detect those files.

but I think that the "system command and then disassemble the return" way could suite my need, but I don't know how can I use it, if I'm right ou sad that I can make a "dir" command and get the result in maya?is it true?

yes try system("dir /a-d c:\temp\") then tokenize by space

And yes evenbodys right some systems use different names for switches because they talk different langauges which SUCKS. Like translating visual basic to Finnish, yuck because of the language constraints you cant differentiate for and while. Wich must have been one of the stupidest ideas of microsoft.

I suppoort the notion of non translated OSes less problems lost in translation, this alos leads to agreater divide between those who can and cant.

I suggest you fopen the file, then fread or fgetline its header info. The dimensions will be in there.

See this page for some image header specifications.

thisway maybe?

CODE
global proc int getFileSize(string $file)
{
    $file = fromNativePath($file);
    string $basename = basename $file "";
    int $bytes;

    if(file -q -ex $file)
    {
        string $native = toNativePath($file);
        string $dirRant = system("dir /-c \"" + $native + "\"");

        string $lines[];
        tokenize $dirRant "\n" $lines;
        for ($line in $lines)
        {
            if (gmatch $line ("*" + $basename + "*"))
            {
                string $words[];
                tokenize $line $words;
                $bytes = $words[(size($words) - 2)];
            }
        }

        return $bytes;
    }
    return -1;
}
