Description Alexandr Grigorcea 2011-10-01 23:14:31 UTC 
In files properties dialog I get this
1.5 GB (1,468,003,564 bytes)
but it is actually 1400 MB or 1.37 GB
I suppose it is because of division by 1000 and not by 1024

the size of 1.5GB is shown everywhere for that file
Comment 1 Robert Roth 2011-12-22 08:10:58 UTC 
1,468,003,564 bytes = 1,433,597.23 KiB = 1,399.99 MiB = 1.367 GiB
1,468,003,564 bytes = 1,468,003.56 kB = 1468 MB = 1.468 GB
So the information displayed is correct, as it is rounded up to 1.5 GB. The question is which unit do people want to see? See the very long discussion on this in bug 554172.
