Since https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/commit/applets/systemmonitor/net/contents/ui/net.qml?id=8da91cde831c75111c62f2bc7e2e9481f227d7a6 ( https://phabricator.kde.org/D4551 ), the Network Monitor plasmoid (org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.net, to be precise, since there are other plasmoids with the same or similar name) shows speeds in Kbps/Mbps, instead of KiB/s as it did previously. Could you please add an option to set that to KiB/MiB? Quite frankly, I don't know who would find bits per second units useful, but to me it's really useless. Sure, I read the argument in the Phabricator review that ISP's advertise their services in "Megabits" and such, but I don't download 16 Mebibits images, I download 2 Mebibytes images, etc, and I really don't think I'm alone ;) There was some debate about this in the Phabricator review, but I guess it went nowhere. Could we please have an option here? Thank you!
I would also recommend to have a specific option available for the measurement units (bits/sec or (k)bytes/sec, ...) in the 'network monitor settings'
This should be configurable, yeah.
Here's the patched back to kibibytes /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.net/contents/ui/net.qml if anyone wants to patch up to sane units themselves (just replace the file contents with the code below and restart plasmashell with `killall plasmashell && plasmashell` : ``` /* * Copyright 2015 Marco Martin <mart@kde.org> * * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as * published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
