 Just wanted to warn that this changes the semantics of the API, as until
 now the returned file path pointed to a temp file that the caller was
 responsible for cleaning up. This means in practice that activities will
 need to be aware that the file is in a removable device and that must not
 delete the file once it has finished working with the object.

 If activities don't adapt to this API change, files will be deleted from
 the usb stick.
