Feature description
Hello,
Opened here, because i got told to do it here.
(FossifyOrg/File-Manager#350)
The fossify apps use the binary representation to display the file sizes, while default apps such as com.android.documentsui or apps like Firefox/Opera in the download manager use the decimal representation.
This creates some inconsistency in the display of the file sizes across apps.
I think the affected fossify apps are Gallery, File-Manager and probably also the Music-Player (didn't test it).
The File-Manager also offers a storage overview, where the maximal available storage, for example 256 GB, is displayed in decimal representation, while in binary it just would be ~238GB, while the used storage for the categories below are displayed in binary representation.
Therefore a toggle to switch to decimal representation might be interesting or to use the decimal reprentation by default.
Why do you want this feature?
Being able to get more consistency across the installed apps for the displayed file sizes.
