In which way does this reflect what "should be used as input for other
commands"?

I don't even understand why you use this manually with copy & paste.

Why don't you simply refer to the ${filesize} variable?


In any case, if you want to change this format, you must change _all_
occurrences of it, i. e. include all the commands that load from
external storage (ide, usb, scsi, sata, nand, dataflash, SPI-Flash,
...).


Best regards,
