Only one entry in the Size column lists its metric, so I have no idea whether the rest of the entries in that column are in MB, KB, b... #24

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open any zip file and look at all the entries in the Size column: Only one 
of them indicates its metric, and it's not usually the first one.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Each entry in the Size column should include not only how many (a number) but 
how many of WHAT (KB or MB or GB, etc.).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v. 2.9.0 on a Core2Duo MacBook running 10.6.4.

Please provide any additional information below.

Absence of KB, MB, GB, TB signifies natural file size units which are "bytes"
Thus 153 in the size column means that the item size is 153 bytes.
I suppose I can say "B" as a postfix but it is a bit out of line because KB and 
MB are actually like "kg" or "km" stand for kilo- grams and meters.
It's interesting that people start to forget what byte is. It's actually 8 
bits. :)
