Sven Meier commented on WICKET-6580:
------------------------------------
I've noticed that Bytes#valueOf() is already parsing KB|MB|GB|TB successfully,
so I'm inclined to change #toString() for Wicket 9 as you've proposed.
Problem is that the units should be KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB, since Bytes divides by
1024 instead of 1000 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte).
Either we change the divisor to 1024 or we live we the inconsistency.

> Key: WICKET-6580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6580
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 7.9.0
> Reporter: Peter Bozik
> Priority: Major
>
> It is not possible to override how the Bytes class is translated to String.
> we would like to override wicket message *uploadSingleFileTooLarge* about big
> file and we would like to use form field ${fileMaxSize}. Our max limit is
> specified in megabytes and as it is specified in wiki
> ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte)] - the recommended unit symbol is
> *MB*, not *M*
> we know, we can change our message to ...${fileMaxSize}B ... but then in case
> of value in bytes we would get ... 10 bytesB ...
>
> also there is no space between value and units except bytes so we would like
> to add it there so we would get e.g. (10 MB, 10 KB, 10 bytes). Current state
> is (10M, 10K, 10 bytes)
>
> thank you for consideration of this kind of improvement
