There was an issue with plural forms if we show file sizes in terms of bytes. So, it has been discussed that we can show the file size in terms of "1 KB" for files having size >0 and <1000 bytes. To keep file size similar to native file system, JFileChooser displays file sizes with one decimal point precision. Now, the issue is whether an empty file should be displayed as "0.0 KB" or "0 KB" ? As of now empty files are displayed as "0 KB". ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9327
