  • Ticket #12150 – Description

    initial v2  
     1Currently, BColumnListView render sizes (in BSizeColumn, src/kits/interface/ColumnTypes.cpp) using "KB", "MB", etc suffixes.
     2
     3The sizes are acutally multiples of 1024, not 1000, and so the suffix should be KiB, MiB, etc.
     4
     5Ideally, the code would be adjusted to use string_for_size, which will not only do this, but also make sure to use the correct decimal separators depending on the user locale preferences. But, using string_for_size makes it more complicated to do "smart" string truncation (removing the least significant digits) to fit the text in the column when it is too small. See #13882 for an example of what happens when string_for_size is used without care.
