minor issue with $file->filesizeStr

[interrobang]

I used $file->filesizeStr to output the filesize and noticed that the unit is all lowercase i.e. kb, but it should be kB.

kb = kilobit,

kB = kilobyte

Thanks, I didn't realize that, I will update it. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen it written like kB (looks like a mistake doesn't it?) but I'd rather it be correct than pretty.

Hm, maybe thats the reason my colleges sometimes call me a "Typo Nazi".

I always use kB, so it doesn't look like a mistake for me. But now I started to look around how my applications format "kB", I can only find the all uppercase formatting KB. Maybe this is a compromise between correct and pretty? And I couldn't find any document explaining why kB is mixed case, while the rest (MB, GB, TB,..) is all uppercase.

I've "never" seen kB, looks wrong to me. Either KB or kb.

Edit: Funny but looking at "dB", it looks right to me because I remember it from electronics and making music (amps etc)

Stumbled over this old thread... These are different:  1 kB = 1000 B   vs.  1KB = 1024 B

(In former times, some producers of harddisks, even if they indicated the capacity in KB, they meant kB - so it looked bigger...)
