Reported free space values throughout DOpus

This is a bit minor but I feel the values should all be the same. Most of the time the values are all the same and sometimes they are not.

One of my drives free space, at these locations.

Location	Free Space
My Computer/This PC	404 GB
Status Bar	404 GB
Go DRIVEBUTTONS (tooltip)	403 GB
Windows Explorer	403 GB

Guessing this is caused by the decimal part of the value (although the decimal part aren't visible in this case) being close to changing the whole number. Like 403.98? That, in combination with the calculations are different in the internal function(s) for two locations (This PC and Status Bar) reporting the free space? Assuming Windows Explorer is correct. Thanks!

The tooltip on drive buttons actually comes from the system, so effectively it's using the same calculations Explorer does.

I understand from other threads that DOpus divides by 1000 instead of 1024. Maybe the other locations listed above should get the value from the system as well for consistency. If not that's fine just throwing it out there.

I'm not sure why you assume what Windows does is right

I think those threads were about something else. The difference would be much larger if it was due to that.

Explorer seems to round the value down, DOpus rounds up and down depending on the decimal value ?

469870055424 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 437.60

Wow it's been changed and now reports the same free space at all locations. You even took it a step further and added a pie chart! I thought I read the whole changelog but didn't see any mention of this in the wall of text. Thanks!
