30 is too little. For instance
/home/techet/projects/geany/geany.geany
is 39 characters long and this is really short path. I find 50 characters to be about minimal usable size so users do not have to scroll inside the edit box too often.
50 makes the dialog seem too wide IMO. The user can stretch the dialog as well as scroll the entry. I don't like forcing the entry to be at least 50 characters wide, I wouldn't mind so much if it displays as 50 so long as the screen can take it, but could be reduced by GTK or the user if necessary.
I agree the dialog looks better with not so wide entries, on the other hand I *always* have to scroll the entry to be able to edit the path at the end. But I don't care so much about the future of this patch, it's just a minor usability problem I have noticed.
