Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs In Konqueror, we can read things like that in a file properties : «35,2 KB (36 033)» Well, it's false and doubtful, because: 36 033 B = 36,033 KB 36 033 B = 35,2 KiB It's the same problem in french (Giga instead of Gibi for example) See http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html for more explanations. Also, it could be a good idea to let the user choose between the metric system and the binary system. Personnaly, I prefer the metric system: - the manufacturers of computer storage devices usually use the metric system - It's easier to compare GB and KB. That second point is a wish, but IMHO it is associated to the first point, wich is a bug.
