5. Use Gig for the sizes. I had missed this in previous posts. But it
be a good idea to have the size in Gb after 999 Mb. We can have a
function that returns the show-able string.
I think something along the lines of what you get from 'ls -h' or 'df -h'
would be better. We don't want to show GB for the /boot volume, for example.
And some people may just really want to use MB.
Could we give users the option to select a display unit and perhaps by default
do something similar to 'ls -h'/'df -h'. I like the two or three significant
digits approach and scale the units as necessary:
99.0M
2.00G
0.96k
I think having a preference for what units to display in the GUI is
overkill [1]. The idea to display by default in the units that make most
sense for the quantity involved is a great one though, and much better
than displaying everything in GB.

[1] Unless there is a Really Good Use Case for this, that would be
helpful to 90% of users. I can't think of one, but I'm not as
well-versed in this domain and the use cases for it.
I can't think of a reason to expose this as a choice either even though I
brought it up, though I'm sure that won't stop people from asking.
If we sanitize the units we display, that would be the best I think.
Oh, and I should have mentioned 'ls -lh', not 'ls -h'.
