The MLfiles library is currently a single file containing normal Android file handling and Samba (SMB) file handling. I did this intentionally thinking that a single lib would be easier to use if people needed to do low level file handling across platforms.

The drawback is that it requires the jcifs lib be installed to use the library even if you don't need Samba access. So, the question is:

Should I separate the library into 2 libs: MLfiles and MLsmb? or leave it as 1 library as it is now?

I use the MLfiles and the Samba part too so I need both.

But I would say that the jcifs is large at 387k so separate them.

That is my thinking as well. There are a lot of times that I just need the file handling and not the SMB stuff, but I do want some opinions. It's an easy change, but would require checking another library entry in existing projects that use MLsmb.

Thanks,
