Prusa Connect does not reflect correct file size

This is weird.  I generated a bgcode file and the size is showing as 7.7MB in my file explorer.  However, when I upload it to Prusa Connect it shows the file size as 8.1MB.  I think clearly is is dividing the file size by 1,000 instead of 1,024.  Now, I get that they created the different MB vs MiB but most operating systems still show MB but mean MiB so I would either follow suit, or change your display to say MiB and divide by 1,024.  Otherwise you're just going to confuse people.

It could also be down to block size or how they interpret it; some OSs show file size as total blocks taken up, some show the actual size of the blocks ignoring the wasted space of partially filled blocks.

The numbers align with a difference between 1,000 and 1,024.  That would not happen if it was giving a number related to excess space used.
