Title:
  file size format is GiB not GB

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus-elementary:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  in the nautilus, in Properties dialoge it says GB for the file size .
  but infact it is showing the file size as GiB .

  so either change the file size format to GiB or change the appendix
  to GiB.

  GiB (Geby Byte) is a standard that was defined by the International
  Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in December 1998.

  
  More Information on this bug :
  to test this , you can try to burn a folder that nautilus shows as 4.5 GB [which can fit on a bank 4.7GB DVD] but you will see it wont fit , because infact the folder size is not is not 4.5 GB . and it is 4.5 GiB . Nautilus measures the filesize GiB (binary Giga byte), but by mistake it shows as GB (Decimal Giga Byte)
