Aaron Digulla commented on IO-294:
----------------------------------
It would probably belong to a new class in the package
{{org.apache.commons.lang3.text}} but I fear that nobody will ever find it
there.
{{byteCountToDisplaySize()}} is a method that is strongly related to I/O - I
can't think that we'd use that to print the size of String labels in a UI, for
example.
So it should go into commons IO somewhere but maybe into {{IOUtils}} since it's
not especially related to files.
And if you support I18n, you must allow to specify a locale. Otherwise, this
code can't be used in a multi-language web app, for example.

> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Jean-Noel Rouvignac
> 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). The implementation has the following features:
> * <ul>
> * <li>Supports the SI or IEC units.</li>
> * <li>Supports I18n</li>
> * <li>Display a one digit remainder (rounded down if less than 5,
> rounded up otherwise)</li>
> * <li>Once the main unit is >= 100, drops the remainder which would be
> over precision.</li>
> * </ul>
> *
> * @param size The number of bytes.
> * @param useSiUnits if false, uses the IEC (International
> Electrotechnical Commission) units (powers of 2), else uses SI (International
> System of Units)
> * units (powers of 10).
> * @return A human-readable display value (includes units).
