Plugin for Finder/Forklift to show size as Bytes always (not kB, MB, GB)

[thulium]

Is there a plugin for Finder or the file manager Forklift to show the size always as Bytes and not - depending from the size - as kB, MB or GB?

I prefer it, when data in columns have the same (SI) unit.

Thanks.

I'm not aware of anything that does this natively.

One workaround I can think of is to use Applescript to pop up a message with the sizes in bytes:

tell application "Finder"
    set currentDir to (target of front Finder window) as text
    set result to (do shell script "cd " & (quoted form of POSIX path of currentDir) & "; stat -f '%N ... %z' *")
    display dialog result buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell

You can embed that in an Automator workflow, save it as a service and then assign it a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts.

Thanks for your suggestion. But I want to see the sizes in the column next together.

Bad luck for me.
