I've noticed some inconvenient UX in Inkscape 1.3, and I can't remember if this problem existed in earlier versions or not.
In Windows 10, if you open the Export tab and click the folder icon, it brings up a different variant of the explorer window: https://i.imgur.com/XVl7InQ.png
This version is far more inconvenient than the standard explorer window because you can't paste your current path into the input box at the top (where it says Downloads). I'm not sure if this window is carried over from older versions of Windows - I've seen it now and then, but I never figured out what it's for.
In comparison, Photoshop's Save As menu brings up the standard explorer window, where you can type or paste into the navigation bar on top: https://i.imgur.com/7k5jT18.png
Is there a reason why Inkscape works this way?
(I'm aware that you can paste a path into the text field next to the directory browser, but this method is inconvenient because you have to be careful to not overwrite the filename (can't just ctrl+a ctrl+v). It seems that the Windows Explorer version used by Photoshop is just better, unless there's another factor that I'm not aware of.)
