Binary unit prefixes: configurable option or fork
hi,
it seems that this project actively prefers decimal unit prefixes over binary ones (ie: KB over KiB), as seen here.
this is unfortunate, given that the whole software world save for Mac users and disk drive manufacturers (due to their obvious marketing advantage) choose and expect binary prefixes. this is the main reason i fire up gparted when i am using gnome disks and want to create or resize a partition. it is also unfortunate that the project decided to flat out rip binary prefixes instead of providing a configurable option. or even an option without a GUI. or even a preprocessor macro!
other related projects such as nemo (fork of nautilus) do provide an option for this (that i assume has been inherited from nautilus).
is there project opposition towards a configurable option for prefixes? or has it just not been done? and if there is opposition, is there a known fork using binary units?
thanks for your help!
