Hi Massimo,<br>
<br>
Fair point.<br>
Sadly they are also supposed to be powers of 10 and not 2.<br>
And I never realised that Z was smaller than Y and not the other way round. That's bonkers!<br>
<br>
Will people always get the case right, even when they never read the instructions?<br>
Or do I only insist on "m" and "M" having the right case, and ignore the case on all the others?<br>
Bit awkward. Only other option is to infer whether it's a byte count or a time duration from the name of the setting (/bytes/i ==> byte count, rules like that).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

John and others,<br>
<br>
I didn't ignore this, I just mentally added it to the list without remembering to reply to you about it! :-/<br>
<br>
I should be able to do hours and days and stuff like that too.<br>
So that it matches with what happens in the code already, can we agree to use 1024, 1024^2, 1024^3 etc as the K, M and G multiples?<br>
For times I could allow s, h, d, w.<br>
<br>
So the multipliers would be (ignoring case):<br>
k = 1024<br>
m = 1024*1024<br>
g = 1024*1024*1024<br>
s = 1<br>
h = 60*60<br>
d = 60*60*24<br>
w = 60*60*24*7<br>
<br>
Are there any I have missed (I'm avoiding minutes in favour of megs).<br>
<br>
The syntax would have to change in the preferences.php file where you chose to use a suffix, as<br>
'maxBytesForDropoff' => <b>24G</b>,<br>
is not valid PHP, it would need to be<br>
'maxBytesForDropoff' => <b>'24G'</b>,<br>
but you would only need the quotes round ones where you chose to use a suffix.<br>
<br>
Sound okay to everyone?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<o:p></o:p></p>

Computers are good at doing math. Can we have the option of including units on some preferences?
<br>
<br>
I'm thinking, particularly, about: <br>
maxBytesForDropoff <br>
maxBytesForFile <br>
maxBytesForChecksum <br>
maxBytesForEncryption <br>
<br>
These are currently specified in bytes. This is generally a long number which is hard to read and easy to stumble over. May we have the default continue to be "number of bytes" but have it accept an optional unit-suffix? For example:
<br>
'maxBytesForDropoff' => 25769790582, <br>
could be specified as: <br>
'maxBytesForDropoff' => 24G, <br>
<br>
Old preferences would continue to work, and new preferences would be easier to read.
