GiB is only used in Information Screen because of the space. This is by design and not inconsistent.

You haven't taken the time to look at the values I've spent the time to highlight

In these screeenshots:

GB value GiB value
483.184 450
450.0
450
483.184

I would like to address some of these inconsistencies as I go through the code. I won't be able to fix all occurences as I won't have access to all the code.

The issue is that some developers aren't consistent in using powers of 10 or powers of 2 scaling.

I suggest you keep your request in mind and prompt me as I change a module that has inconsistent units. I will be revisiting Information.py and will look at making the selected units the primary display and the alternative units in brackets.

Location Box is changed but without digets after comma, this is by purpose. MountManager will be completely refactored.
