file size format is GiB not GB

[Medya]

Binary package hint: nautilus

in the nautilus, in Properties dialoge it says GB for the file size .
but infact it is showing the file size as GiB .

so either change the file size format to GiB or change the appendix to GiB.

GiB (Geby Byte) is a standard that was defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in December 1998.

More Information on this bug :
to test this , you can try to burn a folder that nautilus shows as 4.5 GB [which can fit on a bank 4.7GB DVD] but you will see it wont fit , because infact the folder size is not is not 4.5 GB . and it is 4.5 GiB . Nautilus measures the filesize GiB (binary Giga byte), but by mistake it shows as GB (Decimal Giga Byte)
