            Bug ID: 472112
           Summary: Respect the users' choice of BinaryUnitDialect
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 23.04.3
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: jackhill3103 at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
A user can choose to prefer SI unit prefixes for their binary numbers by adding
the following to ~/.config/kdeglobals:

    [Locale]
    BinaryUnitDialect=2

but Dolphini does not always respect this choice. Instead it continues to use
IEC units in the main panel (and potentially other places?). It DOES respect
this for the properties dialogue and bottom panel showing disk space.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the aforementioned lines to the kdeglobals file
2. Open Dolphin
3. Enable Details View Mode
4. Look at the size of a file shown in the list

OBSERVED RESULT
Size is given like "19.1 MiB"

EXPECTED RESULT
Size is given like "20.1 MB" (it's a 20,056,162 byte file)
