Hi
File-sizes get bigger. I have regularly files that are >= 1.000.000.000 bytes. This makes ls output a bit "difficult" to read and the format is "jumpy" if they are mixed with files <= 999.999.999 in size. Because of this i have patched the (s)printf of my local ls & du. But as i don't believe that such a patch will be accepted "as is" i vote for a commandline-switch "--bigger-format-for-size-field(s)" or something like that. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
