Is there an option to change the display of the units from SI units to binary units? For example, from KB (kilobytes) to KiB (kibibytes), MB (megabytes) to MiB (mebibytes), GB (gigabytes) to GiB (gibibytes).
I find it confusing how SI units are used, when in fact Windows does not use SI units for the values of the sizes of files. The sizes of files are given in base 2, not base 10.
