Created attachment 6849 thunar-size-label.patch The properties dialog currently shows only the human readable size. The proposed patch shows exact size in bytes too, which is a valuable info in a number of cases.

Created attachment 7564 to much text Hi Adam, sorry for the late reply and thanks alot for the patch! I just tested it. Generally I am ok with adding the size in bytes, However at least in german the default size of the window is too small to display the full text. Bad thing is, the text is clinched exactly where the total size in GB is displayed :F .. so that I always would need to expand the window to see the most important size-info. So I would suggest to add an additional label in the next line instead.
Created attachment 7565 Show-exact-bytecount Hi Alex, how about this change? I.e. use wrapping instead of extra label (which would mean quite a lot of extra hassle).
