            Bug ID: 453853
           Summary: file size display: please follow BinaryUnitDialect
                    everywhere
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.12.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Dolphin does not seem to follow the BinaryUnitDialect config option everywhere.
Likely it is just a matter of replacing some function with some higher-level
ones, as in a few places, Dolphin does do the right thing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set BinaryUnitDialect=2 in [Locale] section of $KDEHOME/.config/kdeglobals
(setting to metric/SI instead of IEC)
2. Start Dolphin
3. Open some folder with files, select, hover, etc.

OBSERVED RESULT
Mostly IEC formatting is used instead of metric (metric is used in the status
bar when selecting/hovering over a file and also for showing the available disc
space)

EXPECTED RESULT
Metric formatting is used everywhere

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The BinaryUnitDialect config option is described in Bug 57240. This option is
for now still without a GUI, but Bug 364321 makes it clear this is about to
change. So apps like Dolphin should be made ready to follow BinaryUnitDialect.
