When opening an existing project, there's no way to traverse to the directory containing your project if it isn't bookmarked in Places. All directories are grayed out. This has the unfortunate UX implication that you have to manually type in the path to open your project.
Skimming through the code, it looks like the file dialog is expecting directories that you can select to end in .inform, which is how Inform7 names project directories, but of course there's no way to get to your project's parent directory so that you can see it.
This was observed in git master for gnome-inform7.
