... use a single M or K.
And how can I know if your M = 1 000 000 or 1 048 576 :?:

K = Is reserved for KELVIN (temperature) :!:

Ok, it now works in that test version you sent me. But ist still says "bytes" instead of just "B". "Bytes" takes up too much space with such large numbers. So, any word on this?

Perhaps it's better to remove all the text "bytes", you are with option filesize in bytes, so i think that there is no need to add something, what do you think?

yes Dany and ouistiti !
b for bit ( b - bit in french too) (8b=1B) kB, MB, GB
But I know ouistiti, GB is also reserved for Great Britain - LOL :D
B for Byte ( O - Octet in French 8b=O) kO, MO, GO
K for Kelvin (temperature) but k for Kilo ,
and it's better to Have 1 226 412 B instead 1226412 Bytes

Bonsoir Clo
No, I have'nt missed anything...
But the general case is :
it's better to Have 1 226 412 B or 1.226.412 B instead 1226412 Bytes for the same area screen and keep the unit.

and for GB , it's only a joke ! :D

I wouldn't mind having a single B at the end to avoid any confusion and to keep it in line with the other display (KB, MB, GB, ...). I'd prefer it that way, but if you think it's better to remove it altogether that's ok with me as well.
