Allow folder to be searched in save dialog (so we don't need to remember exact location)

Issues

This report should focus on issue 2

  1. slow: E.g. when resizing/rotating an object, using bezier tool, modifying handles (see #1577 (moved))

  2. not friendly when saving: E.g. need to know path to find folder, vs typing in the folder name

  3. doesn't remember: E.g. open a file and try to modify stroke width uses mm vs previous pt (todo: split to a separate issue)

What happened?

Attached are screen shots of saving Inkscape and Word files. In the Word case if I want to save the file in a folder I type the name in the "search" bar and then it pops up and I choose it. In the Inscape case I need to know the path to the folder. If one has many folders or does not keep this in ones memory this can be a problem.
