Number format in Drive Combobox bar

In "Drive Combobox bar", the number format is missing commas in large numbers. For instance, in numbers > 1TB, this is how they are shown in bytes: 1000,000,000,000 b.

The same stands for the status line too. I guess it's a generic number format function used everywhere.

Different countries use different number formats.

Yup, that's not what i'm saying. It should not be "1000,..." it should be "1,000,...".

Ah, understood, you mean that separator between TB and GB is missing.

Right. I guess it's time TC hot a little modernized.

Soon we'll be talking about disks larger than 10TBs...

Indeed there is currently no thousands separator for Terabytes because such large files are extremely rare, and if there are any, the TB will be only one digit. Maybe I will change that in the future.

I'm not talking about files, they are indeed extremely rare. I'm talking about disk size (free/total) which is the opposite of rare nowadays and are about to become extremely common the next few months.

I think you should. It's not that important but it doesn't seem too difficult to change, so...
