Bug ID: 428045
Summary: Use metric units for file sizes
Product: dolphin
Version: 20.04.3
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: folders
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@equaeghe.nospammail.net
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
File sizes in Dolphin are given using IEC units (B, KiB = 1024 B, MiB = 1024
KiB,…). Metric units (B, kB = 1000 B, MB = 1000 kB,…) are more appropriate. The
reasons are:
* There is no underlying reason to use multiples of 1024, because the size of
the content is shown, not of the multiple of block size of the medium the file
resides on.
* It is easier to reason in multiples of 1000 than in multiples of 1024.
Therefore, please use metric units for file sizes.
