Hi Michael,

I think as a non-default, hidden option it is perfectly fine to commit.

I'ld love 160GB to show meaning 160000000000 bytes, but I'm close to the only one, so \
forget that. As default: no support for that. Gui option: I think that's nice to have \
in the country kcm somewhere, ( ideally with my insane definition of GB.)

Face it, we will never agree to one solution, so commit your patch to trunk and we \
are done unless someone wants to make that gui option.

My opinion.

Toma
