Conditional formatting still does not work properly for file size
The issue reported in https://www.admincolumns.com/forums/topic/conditional-formatting-does-not-work-properly-for-file-size/#post-253209 is still unsolved.
Evaluating the numbers but ignoring the units makes no sense and creates meaningless results.
The issue is that Conditional Formatting operators don’t have context for units. For the File Size column, this means that when you use numeric operators such as greater than or between, the unit (KB, MB, etc.) is ignored.
To resolve this, we can standardize all file sizes to a single unit (for example, MB). However, there is currently no way to indicate this in the interface, so users will need to know to enter their values in MB when setting up rules.
We’re inclined to choose MB as the standard unit. Would that approach work for you?
I guess this would work for me.
However, since the media library contains mostly images, and images should be in the KB range (not in the MB range), I’d prefer KB as the base unit.
Thanks for the input.
KB it is. We will patch this for the next update (without visual/UI indication that KB should be used) and see if we can improve the UI for a major release.
btw, if you want to test this, please send me a message at support@admincolumns.com
