SUMMARY
In Dolphin v24.05.1 (latest supplied by the arch repository), when calculating
the size of a folder it will incorrectly read the number of bytes as kilobytes,
and report a much much larger used size than reality.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click root folder and go to properties
2. Calculate "size"

OBSERVED RESULT
Size is multiplied by 1024, creating an incorrectly large number

EXPECTED RESULT
Size is reported correctly
