Reason: there is no agreement about what is “the right thing in the right places”. Apps just use the (current) default, which is IECBinaryDialect. I personally think that this does not make sense and that MetricBinaryDialect is ‘the right thing’ to use. However, I can see that this is a matter of taste, so I wouldn't want to force my preference on others. Just like we can choose a period or comma as the fractional separator and other locale-related things, the units to use for measuring file sizes should be user-configurable. It does not make sense to do this at the application level, because then each application needs to implement this separately, possibly leading to issues because the maintainer is a staunch proponent of one of the options. The easiest is to just make the Plasma-wide default configurable, as it was in KDE 4. I've opened bugs for asking application maintainers (e.g., Bug 428045), but the response automatically leads to the default set in frameworks-kcoreaddons, which the apps use. So this is not seen as an application-level choice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
