Gigabyte or Gibibyte
Question / Problem
Does TreeSize use Gigabyte or Gibibyte?
Answer / Solution
TreeSize shows its formatted sizes in Mebi-, Gibi-, and Tebibyte, even though we are using the more "common" identifier Megabyte (MB), Gigabyte (GB), and Terabyte (TB) in the software. We decided to do it this way to prevent user confusion, because nowadays it is quite common to talk about e.g. Terabyte but actually meaning Tebibyte.
