Calculate occupied space probelm in GB
Posted: 2023-07-12, 02:06 UTC
I recently calculated some files. (Ctrl+L)
Total space occupied: 9,400,322,641 bytes
(= 9,180,002k, 8,964M, 8G)
It seems that the calculation rounds down without considering decimals, which is not accurate when displaying in gigabytes (GB). The difference is quite significant.
In Windows Explorer, it displays 8.75 GB, which is obviously more precise.
For files larger than GB, it's recommended to display at least 1-2 decimal places for accuracy.
