Something that are 6KiB, will show 6000 bytes.
This is a vague bug report - is the issue generally not using human-friendly units? That's because QML's Locale type has no formatter for it[1], the QML wrapper around KLocale's method[2] was removed in KF5 and it's not economical to do this leg work in Folder right now. Hopefully QML's Locale stuff will improve in the future. 1 = http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-5.3/qml-qtqml-locale.html 2 = http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/classKLocale.html#a3116ebc59ad98cbf80dc06ff9489e330
Yes, it's not human-friendly units. Actually the Folder View is only going to be used by humans, for the moment. The fact that we can't fix it now doesn't mean this is not a problem.
I have a patch ready, waiting for Eike to approve.
