Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages It would be nice to have an option in KDE applications to switch between decimal and binary prefixes, such as MB (Megabyte, 10^6 Byte) and MiB (Mebibyte, 2^20 Byte), especially in Konqueror. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix Maybe this has already been implemented, as it is often stated that GNU coreutils can do this, but if so, it is very well hidden in KDE GUIs.
k3b already uses power-of-2 number in file and media sizes, but the strings used are "KB", "MB" and "GB", which is confusing. Please use the explicitly binary prefixes ("KiB", "MiB" and "GiB") for power-of-two numbers! [I'm using k3b 0.12.17 (KDE 3.5.5)]
This seems to be a duplicate of Bug 131022
IMO, it's a duplicate of bug 57240. (Just like 131022)
