The file listing for Things shows file sizes in KiB or MiB units, but uses a ‘kb’ or ‘mb’ suffix which is meant for kiloBytes or megaBytes instead of kibiBytes or mebiBytes.
Either keep your current size calculations and use the IEC suffixes KiB and MiB, or better: recalculate the values with factors of 1000, and use the proper SI units kB and MB. There is not much use in sticking to the 1024-based factors these days and a lot of software has already switched to the SI units.

Obviously this is very low priority and the more pressing issues should be fixed first.
