I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I've got *many* files around 700Mb (avi films) and for example it's good to know at a glance if they're just under 700Mb i.e. if they fit on a CD. The 21Gb file example was a Virtual Box image. > A more important/necessary use of ls is to see it 2 files > are EXACTLY the same size, than rounding [ambigiously] to K. Ok, but if the human output for sizes were an option, one could just leave it disabled. > I think you already KNOW that/why extensions/mods have potential > problems. google: Design by committee ? Parkinson's law/s ? Honestly, it seems to me you're esagerating. This I'm proposing is a simple option that solves what seems to me a relevant usability issue; I wouldn't call it a mod/extension but rather a small (tiny?) fix. I'm sorry you're seeing it as a potential danger to the integrity of the project rather than as a possible enhancement. I won't insist anymore: if you decide to implement it, great, otherwhise I'll move on trying to implement it myself or just ctrl + o and ls -lh when I need to.
