[ubuntu-za] Nautilus shows wrong size

[Wikus]

Yeah thanx William ,

After some googling I found out yesterday that it is one of those 
"that's the way it is and nobody knows why they choose that way"
things.

Is very annoying when it comes to things like iso's as it is much harder 
too see if it will fit a cd or dvd.
And it's against the standard used everywhere else.

It really is something only the devs will know why they prefer that as I 
can't see any user preferring MiB above the industry standard MB.
