Yes indeed, thanks.

However it seem this function show only with "M" (mega)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(url-pretty-length (nth 7 (file-attributes 
"~/.VirtualBox/Machines/LoseDows.vdi")))
"6811.04M"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

instead of showing e.g "6.8G"
