I have following Problem with MC. A file is 1.72 MB big but MC shows only 1.03 KB in explorer panel or the file is 1.08 GB big an MC shows only 1.00 MB. I have tried different settings with "Show size as:" but some files will shown wrong. Can anyone reproduce this problem?

Sounds very strange.

How size does the tooltip show ? (makesure tooltip is set to always be shown, then hover over an item for 1-2sec)

tooltip show:

Name: linuxmint-..........-32bit.iso
Size: 1 Bytes ( 1.00 MB )
Date: 28.11.2011
Attributes: -a---

correct size: 1.08 GB (1167065088 Bytes)

That strange,

Because if the tooltip shows 1 Byte as filesize. Then it is the size that Windows gave to MC when it asked about the filesize

However.. It could be that the thousand separator in your regional settings are bad or something.
What character do you have for that in regional settings in windows ?

Ok, there was apparently something wrong in my regional settings. After reset the settings it's all right. Thank you for your help!
