Description Constantine Evans 2006-12-04 01:22:18 UTC 
Baobab displays directory content sizes in binary prefix based units, but uses SI prefixes. We need to either display sizes with the correct units (KiB, MiB, etc), or have the calculation scheme changed so that the numbers are in SI units. I will write two patches to fix this in the next few days.

I forgot to add a link here to Ubuntu bug #74325. Sorry for the spam.

I know that.
But, 99% of gnome users wil get confused by reading Kib, Gib instead of KB, GB. As baobab is a gnome-utils component and all major Gnome applications such as nautilus are using KB,MB and GB, it is a matter of consistency to keep symbols as they are now.
