'bytes' has too many quotes

Post by jdhedden »

When the word 'bytes' is displayed (in status bar 'Total:' and when listing small files with 'View -> Size Format -> Flexible'), it appears as: '"'bytes'"'. I assume this is an attempt at 'escaping' some form of quotes. I feel it would be better not to display any quotes around the word 'bytes'.

Hm, interesting. Something went wrong with your INI-file: open it and look for the key UnitByte=" bytes". I suppose you have too many quotes there? It should be just " bytes" (or whatever you want to call it), one quote at each end. (The quotes are needed to keep the leading blank in the string value.)
Anyway, I did something to prevent this type of double-quoting in the future.

Yes. I found the bad line in the TrackerV3.ini file:
UnitByte=""" bytes"""
I replaced it with
UnitByte=" bytes"
and that did the trick. Don't know how it got that way as I haven't ever touched the .ini file.
