--block-size='1 is very convenient for human interpretation of large
file sizes, so it would be nice if Dired supported it. If you cannot
support it, perhaps you should document this incompatibility in the
docstring of dired-listing-switches, and perhaps also in
[[info:emacs#Dired%20Enter][info:emacs#Dired Enter]].

I use:
(setq dired-listing-switches "-alh")
Would that solve your use-case?
Best regards,

dired-mark-sexp should use dired-files-attributes (based on file-attributes)
instead of trying to parse all possible ls output formats.

It would mostly solve my use case, but I have found a better solution:
num3-mode (package from GNU ELPA).
If you decide to leave the Dired code as is (despite the remark of Juri
Linkov) then I suggest documenting this incompatibility (as I said in the
original message) and possibly mention num3-mode.
Best regards

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I'm unable to reproduce this problem in the current Emacs.
Here's my recipe:
emacs -Q
C-u s -al --block-size='1 RET
M-( (> size 100000) RET
And it marked the files that are larger than 100000 bytes.
Are there any additional steps necessary to reproduce the problem?

Here this does not work -- maybe because sizes look like 1.000 for me
and the "." distracts Emacs? With other words: a problem that shows up
or not depending on the used locale settings?
Yes -- (> size 100000) seems to mark only sizes between 100 and 999.
Michael.

Right -- for me, the sizes show up as numbers without any dots using
C-u s -al --block-size='1
but I guess that's locale dependent.
As with many things in Dired, the "put stuff into a buffer and then try
to interpret it" leads to yet another bug...

In my experience this is faster than asking for file-attributes all the
time, however
Anyway - seems `dired-x--string-to-number' is what has to be fixed...?
Michael.

Yes, when I delete "." from the argument string in that function it
works. But I wonder what formats we have to expect. Deleting the dot
from e.g. "1.4k" would not be a good idea.

It should be safe to remove the non-numeric chars if the final char
isn't a unit, so I've now done that on master.
