Wish Please add these to SMB

[HotShoe]

I would not have to worry about supporting the SMB class of my MLfiles library if the following method calls were added to the SMBfile class:

/**
      * True if this file or directory is hidden.
      *
      */
      public boolean IsHidden() throws SmbException
      {
      return ((SmbFile)getObject()).isHidden();
      }
       
      /**
      * Returns the share name
      *
      */
      public String GetShare() throws SmbException
      {
      return ((SmbFile)getObject()).getShare();
      }
       
      /**
      * Returns the Samba server name
      *
      */
      public String GetServer() throws SmbException
      {
      return ((SmbFile)getObject()).getServer();
      }
       
      public final int TYPE_FILESYSTEM = 0x01;
      public final int TYPE_WORKGROUP = 0x02;
      public final int TYPE_SERVER = 0x04;
      public final int TYPE_SHARE = 0x08;
      public final int TYPE_PRINTER = 0x20;
      public final int TYPE_NAMED_PIPE = 0x10;
      public final int TYPE_COMM = 0x40;
       
      /**
      * Returns an Int representing the type of SMB object for this SambaFile from 0 through 6
      *
      * TYPE_FILESYSTEM, a regular file or directory
      * TYPE_WORKGROUP, A workgroup
      * TYPE_SERVER, a Samba server
      * TYPE_SHARE, a shared directory
      * TYPE_PRINTER, a shared printer
      * TYPE_NAMED_PIPE, a named pipe
      * TYPE_COMM, a communications device
      *
      */
      public int GetType() throws SmbException
      {
      return ((SmbFile)getObject()).getType();
      }
       
      /**
      * Returns the SMB path to this file or directory
      *
      */
      public String GetPath() throws SmbException
      {
      return ((SmbFile)getObject()).getPath();
      }

This would make the question of separating the OS file class and SMB class moot.

Thanks,

Note that it is very simple to call these methods with JavaObject:

Dim jo As JavaObject = smbfile
Log(jo.RunMethod("getServer"))
Log(jo.RunMethod("getShare"))
...

Why would I want to use a java object? I just want the SMB library to be more complete.

Oh well, it was worth a try.
