Listmates,
KDE4 konqueror is displaying size in KiB and MiB instead of the traditional KB and MB. Where can I change this so I can view the size in KB & MB? The 'i' means nothing to my use of konqueror, but it is distracting to the eye to now have a whole new useless column of 'i's streaming down the page. The view is a whole lot cleaner without them. I'm sure somebody cares whether the file is 41.6 KiB instead of 41.6 KB, but I would be startled if the percentage of people that do exceeds 1%.
Not only that, Ki is non standard. I have never seen KiG for kilograms, or KiM for kilometers. Are milligrams now MiG and hectograms now HeG? I think someone was bored one day. Or this is some emerging EU standard? To answer your question, I do not know where to change it. Perhaps in the locale settings where you set preferences for how money, date and such thing are specified? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
