None.

I like the servicetype idea a lot in fact :

when one enters the URL of a directory in the location bar, 
* if the current view is an icon view, it simply goes to that URL
* if the current view is a tree view, it simply goes to that URL
(no view mode switching in that case).
Currently, it's the icon view that is opened in both cases.

As both views would be associated with inode/directory, the current
one would be used for displaying a directory.

Very nice ! :)
