Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2010-03-31 17:54:35 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

The file «main.cpp» in plasmoidviewer contains the string ‘The size in KB to set the pixmap cache to’. This is not possible to properly translate, as we don’t know whether ‘KB’ means ‘kB’, i.e., 1000 bytes, or ‘KiB’, i.e., 1024 bytes:

http://lxr.kde.org/source/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/generic/shells/plasmoidviewer/main.cpp#138

It should be changed to either ‘kB’ or ‘KiB’, depending on the intended meaning, or, if the actual unit can be chosen by the user, to a variable ‘%1’ which would automatically be displayed as either ‘kB’ or ‘KiB’, depending on the user’s settings.
Comment 1 Dario Andres 2010-04-11 15:22:03 UTC 
The code then sets:

 QPixmapCache::setCacheLimit(args->getOption("pixmapcache").toInt());

and according to the Qt documentation:

void QPixmapCache::setCacheLimit ( int n )   [static]
Sets the cache limit to n kilobytes.

so it should be "kB" ?

This should really be easy to fix, i don't have a working svn check out for the moment
