Hello.  
I love this tool so thank you for a brilliant bit of software.  
My question is .... If I'm tagging a number of files of various sizes, is it possible to format the Size column to display all files in the same unit, ie all in Bytes or Kb or MB?

See the documentation on various file properties:

Just an example to show you what is meant by `%_file_size%` and "File size in human readable format":

If "Numeric" is not activated, the column content is aligned to the left.

This is how it looks with `%_file_size_kb%` or with `%_file_size_mb%`:
