Jean-Noel Rouvignac commented on IO-294: ---------------------------------------- Also, FileUtils.byteCountToDisplaySize(long size) could also be changed to use this new method if you are not too worried about the compatibility of its output compared to previous versions. > Adding FileUtils.byteCountToDisplaySize(long size, boolean useSiUnits) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-294 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-294 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Jean-Noel Rouvignac > Fix For: 2.2 > > Attachments: FileUtils.java, FileUtilsTest.java > > > I have written a little Utility method that might benefit Commons IO: > {code} > public class FileUtils { > /** > * Returns a human-readable version of the file size (original is in > bytes).
