Bug ID: 453854
Summary: Please follow BinaryUnitDialect, appropriately
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.24.4
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bugs.kde....@e3q.eu
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Depends on: 57240
Blocks: 364321
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The system monitor does not seem to follow the BinaryUnitDialect config option.
Likely it is just a matter of replacing some function with some higher-level
ones, as other apps do the right thing (e.g., Krusader).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set BinaryUnitDialect=2 in [Locale] section of $KDEHOME/.config/kdeglobals
(setting to metric/SI instead of IEC)
2. Start system monitor
3. Look at some of the stats showing
OBSERVED RESULT
IEC formatting is used everywhere instead of metric
EXPECTED RESULT
Metric formatting is used everywhere it is appropriate (I think the only place
IEC might make sense is for memory size and usage when a preference for metric
is expressed)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The BinaryUnitDialect config option is described in Bug 57240. This option is
for now still without a GUI, but Bug 364321 makes it clear this is about to
change. So apps like the system monitor should be made ready to follow
BinaryUnitDialect.
