hildon_file_chooser_dialog_set_safe_folder() ?

The documentation for
hildon_file_chooser_dialog_set_safe_folder():
http://www.maemo.org/platform/do
cs/api/hildon-docs/fm-html/hildon-fm-HildonFileChooserDialog
.html#hildon-file-chooser-dialog-set-safe-folder
says 
"Sets a safe folder that is used as a fallback in a
case that automatic
location change fails."

What is "automatic location change" and when might
it fail?

"automatic location change" takes place when (if)
file selector detects 
that the currently selected location is not usable anymore.
This can be 
because of:

* Currently selected location was on mmc and mmc was
removed.
* Currently selected location was on gateway device and
connection
   failed.
* Somebody removed the currently selected folder
* ... some other reason ...

In these cases file selector tries to move selection into
some other 
location (usually parent folder). However, if this fails as
well, safe 
folder provides a fallback location. By default, the root
folder is used 
as a safe folder, but applications can provide a better
fallback 
location if needed.

Thanks. It would be great if you could add that to the
documentation if
you can.
