Feature description

Hello,

I noticed, when i used the default file manager (com.android.documentsui), that the displayed file sizes and storage sizes are different to that of the fossify app.

Example:
A video file of size 58.96 MB in (com.android.documentsui) got displayed as of size of 56.2 MB in fossify.
Both are 471680000 Bits.

The difference is that the default file manager displays them decimal based and the fossify file manager binary based.
1 Byte = 0.001 KB vs 1 Byte = 0.0009766 KB or 1 KB = 1000 Bytes vs 1 KB = 1024 Bytes.

Maybe a toggle to switch in what base to display the sizes might be interesting, because for example the Firefox and Opera browser download manager also uses the decimal base.

Why do you want this feature?

Just for probably having more consistency across different apps.
