Did you click on the "Browse for other folders" "button"?
As you traverse the file system, the "path" is expressed as a series of
clickable buttons at the top of the directory content "window". Click on
the part of the path you want to show.

Right-click on the directory content "window" to bring up the "Show
hidden files" option. Click to select.

It's not that bad, actually.
When the Location dialog is up, typing a partial directory name and
pausing for a bit causes a list of possible completions to pop-up.
Personally, I prefer the new dialog to the old one.
