[Bug 573382] Re: usage of mixed units (bytes, MiB, GiB) for file size and space

[Phillip Susi]

This is very much intentional behavior.  If you have one disk that is
only 100mb and one that is 64gb, they need to be shown with different
units or you would have very large/small numbers.

Title:
  usage of mixed units (bytes, MiB, GiB) for file size and space

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  gnome-utils 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  gparted 0.5.1-1ubuntu2
  nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1
  synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu6

  
  Several programs show mixed units in the same table. This is impractical and confusing as you have to compare manually. Please see the attached screenshots for examples.

  A simple solution would be to use one default unit (for each program):
  GParted: GiB
  Nautilus & baobab: MiB
  Synaptic: KiB
