Hm, somehow I think, there's a difference between navigating the file 
system and acting on the file system. Action happens in the main view, 
navigation *can* happen in the main view, but it will most often happen 
in the pure navigational components (favourites pane, tree pane, 
location bar, location dialog/entry, ...).

Or do I miss a point here?
