Any reason why one method, e.g. ShowURI, isn't sufficient? The implementing object or whatever it delegates to is most likely able to figure out whether it is dealing with a file or directory. For two distinct methods we would have to define what would happen if you passed a file URI to the ShowDirectory method or the other way around, probably requiring specifying D-Bus errors.
