Description

It's not 100% clear whether all the sizes reported by the tool are in bytes or kB.

Maybe the generated analysis output text files could include units e.g. === All extensions by reverse size ===

  • Format: unpacked size, packed size, date deleted, extension name
  • Format: unpacked size bytes, packed size bytes, date deleted, extension name

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the source code where sizes are printed in analysis output and modify the format string to include 'bytes'.
