How to configure Plasma 5 to use MB instead of MiB

Help

I’ve looking on the Internet many ways to change the units of Plasma and I think that it can only be changed in Plasma 4, but it was removed (or moved) on Plasma 5

Is still a way to do this or not?

This can be set in ~/.config/kdeglobals

[Locale]
BinaryUnitDialect=JEDECBinaryDialect

Or

[Locale]
BinaryUnitDialect=MetricBinaryDialect

And restart dolphin.

I couldn’t find a UI for this anymore unfortunately.

Indeed, a GUI for it has not been implemented yet. See 453854 – Please follow BinaryUnitDialect, appropriately. Might not be that hard to add it to the Language & Formats KCM.
