File sizes should be SI units, not IEC units. Disks are measured in SI units for a reason. The disk size and file size in GLib (Nautilus especially) should be SI units, too. Even Apple does this now. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
1,000 byte file = "1.0 kB" 1,000,000 byte file = "1.0 MB" IEC units are for things like memory that naturally come in multiples of a power of two, to make calculations simpler. 1,024 x 1,024 byte of memory = "1.0 MiB" ** Attachment added: "Nautilus showing a 500 MB partition as "476.8 MB"" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32126731/stop%20the%20insanity.png -- Use IEC standard for binary byte units https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
