Follow IEEE 1541 : use MiB instead of MB for base 2
Total Commander currently uses the wrong symbols which can lead to confusion. MB should be used for filesizes in base 10, but Total Commander calculates sizes in base 2. Lets either switch symbols or switch to base 10. (My preference goes to switching symbols)

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

That should be
The app should show KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB for binairy, as if now tge wring symbols are displayed which means that anyone who dies not check the configuration will not know they are reading the wrong value.

I guess no one uses KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB in its daily life.Meteor0id wrote: ↑2019-12-06, 18:30 UTC That should be

And for me it makes no difference in what units the sizes are displayed
because I'm not trying to fill diskettes or something similar
