Nautilus feature request

Very simple: allow the size column to display the exact file size, so not rounded to Kb or MB.

Isn't this rather something you should discuss on the official Nautilus page, rather than here?

There doesn't seem to be a forum, but I can see some contact info and a mailing list in the bottom right corner.

Grab the source, patch p0 < that_patch.diff, ./autogen && make && sudo make install, enjoy.

Excellent! If I feel bold and adventurous one fine day, I'll try it.
