The place is probably OK, despite my feeling that it adds clutter. The real problem though is that an entry only makes sense if it has the keyboard focus. In Inkscape it doesn't have the focus initially so you need to press tab several times before you can start to use the entry. As soon as you tab into the entry, your keyboard focus is grabbed there (well, there's Ctrl-Tab to get out of an entry but we aren't really improving on discoverability here...). Of course one could focus the entry initially but then you wouldn't be able to navigate the file list with the keyboard any longer or use typeahead which IMO gives more direct feedback than Tab completion. If you just add an entry to the current dialog you don't get the current dialog with the extra benefit of an entry with Tab completion. Unfortunately what you get is a dialog that has two orthogonal ways of navigating it with the keyboard and both ways keep getting into the way of each other.
