Bug 227747

Version:           1.4 (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I was (and still am) a big fan of Konqueror 3 as a file manager, and for more complex stuff I still prefer Krusader. But lately, I’m quite getting used to Dolphin now, for its capabilities have reached a level where it’s become quite usable.

There are only minor details left that bug me:
I find it difficult to get an idea about filesizes in a bigger list of files when it shows their sizes like this:

231.5 MiB
491.0 KiB
159.5 KiB
 33.2 MiB
883.4 KiB
...

Because both have vertical lines and diagonal ones in the same direction, M and K are hard to distiguish by just flying over the list.

May I ask to consider adding a checkbox to the Details view options, which lets one chose to dis-/enable automatic base unit selection? (Just like *cough* Krusader does). It’s just faster if I can see from the length of a filesize string, how big files are in relation to one another.

Thanks for your time.
