Request: Storage analyzer - cache memory #1812

Closed MarceloAmarante closed 6 years ago

What should the feature do?

Improved presentation of cache memory for the user

When/How would you use it?

Every time the cache memory was analyzed

How would you implement it?

Uniformize the units of measure used when displaying free spaces and used in cache memory Ex: 970 MB free 17 MB used

SD Maid currently reports: 0.97 GB free 17 MB used.

Comments

In other stores, it seems that they are already made in the way previously mentioned.

I don't think that would be better.

Let's say we have a 128GB SDCARD and there is a 100KB file on it, we would then have to display something liek:

127GB free
0.0001GB used
or
127000MB free
0.1MB used
or
127000000KB free
100KB used

Btw do you use base 1000 or 1024 for conversion?

d4rken commented 6 years ago

That's actually a good question, turns out both, depending on the Android Version...

=N 1000 <N 1024

"According to SI" probably the same guys that voted for article 11 and 13 voted for that. MS and Linux use 1024 what is technically correct but who cares. But getting way to much off topic.
