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

[Paul White]

Further to comment #5, I'm belatedly closing this issue after over 8
years of no activity. Ubuntu is and will always be a collection of
software written by various authors and projects so differences will
always occur.

It is beyond Ubuntu's capability to continually patch numerous packages
to optionally report values in the way that some users might want so I'm
changing the status of all tasks to "Invalid".

** Changed in: hundredpapercuts
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: baobab
       Status: New => Invalid

** Changed in: synaptic
       Status: New => Invalid

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

Status in baobab:
  Invalid
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in synaptic:
  Invalid
Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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
