mc is using binary kilobytes, which have 1024 bytes. I don't have time to search for standards, but quick search on Google shows that binary kilobytes are written as KB or KiB: http://www.romulus2.com/articles/guides/misc/bitsbytes.shtml So the "K" part is correct. As for the "b" part, it's wrong. Bytes are abbreviated as "B". I checked all references to size_trunc(), and I see that the "b" is redundant, since the result is already followed by "bytes". > Another formatting bug: I see e.g. `1,234,567Kb bytes in 8 files' > which should be `1,234,567k bytes in 8 files'. No, it should be "K". By the way, this sentence is very hard to translate properly. ngettext() works fine with one number, but when we have two numbers it becomes tricky. > What about introducing gigabyte (correctly abbreviated to `GB')? All that can be added when somebody with clean hands and enough time rewrites all that mess. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
