Hi Michael,

I think as a non-default, hidden option it is perfectly fine to commit.

I'ld love 160GB to show meaning 160000000000 bytes, but I'm close to the only one, so forget that. As default: no support for that. Gui option: I think that's nice to have in the country kcm somewhere, ( ideally with my insane definition of GB.)

Face it, we will never agree to one solution, so commit your patch to trunk and we are done unless someone wants to make that gui option.

My opinion.

Toma
