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.
