I'm now realizing the problem of g_format_size_for_display() + "/s". I have a new approach to that.
What upstream can do: Use bytes internally and write/use some helper functions for inputting/displaying them: * bandwidth_unit(): Return a string containing the bandwidth unit (e.g. "KB/s") * input_bandwidth_to_byte(size): Converts the input value to bytes (e.g. size * 1024) Then we can write a small patch for Ubuntu that modifies these two functions: * bandwidth_unit(): Return "kB/s" * input_bandwidth_to_byte(size): Return size * 1000 Anything that I forgot? @Martin: If we drop the g_format_size_for_display() patch, we have to patch all applications that use this function to comply with our policy. -- [UIFe] transmission measures bandwidth in KB/s instead of kB/s https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
