For whom it may concern: I filed a bug report [1] where I discuss the storage size conventions from a historical perspective, ultimately concluding that our current g_format_size_for_display() convention of using base-1024 units with a base-1000 (IEC) suffix “KB” is against all standards and conventions ever published (IEC, SI, historical conventions).
Instead, it “just” replicates the Windows (XP) implementation. Thus, I proposed to make the usage of units correct, and leaned towards usage of base 1000 units where 1 KB = 1000 bytes. Please try to fully understand all conventions and their implications before commenting on the bug report. best regards, Christian Neumair [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554172 -- Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
