GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 594886
missing second decimal size descriptor
Last modified: 2009-10-07 15:53:20 UTC
When preparing to write a DVD with documents, I right-click on the containing folder and select Properties. The size information is: 4.3 GB That is not enough, I consider. There should be two decimal numbers, like: 4.26 GB or 4.27 GB or 4.28 GB or 4.29 GB or 4.30 GB because loosing ~100 MB on each DVD write by setting the size to 4.2 GB is not acceptable - and I have to check the size from nautilus while making adjustments to the containing folder. If you implement the second decimal size, thank you. Maybe this problem comes from GTK or VFS.
The size should also be shown in bytes, even if the size is in the order of gigabytes, for exactity: 4.26 GB , 4576678403 bytes
Created attachment 143009 [details] [review] more details about the file size This patch will add more details about the file size. The 2 decimal precision is dependent on the acceptance of bug 594918
Created attachment 143010 [details] screenshot with the patch applied
Created attachment 143011 [details] [review] same patch but with thousands seperator in byte text
Mark, thanks for the patches. This is a duplicate of bug #594918, as that's about showing the second decimal descriptor (which I agree with). At a nautilus level, I think it does not make sense to show both the formatted size and the raw number of bytes, at least with the current design of the properties windows. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 594918 ***
