Comment (by antoniou79):

 I should clarify:
 The way ScummVM currently works:
 - You will *not* see the System File Picker upon setting the Save Game
 path.
 - You should see the System File Picker, if you had previously set a Save
 Game path that requires SAF permission, and you are currently trying to
 actually Save a game there.
 - You will *not* see the System File Picker, if at some point during the
 app's lifetime, you saw it and set a permission using it which covers the
 current access request (to save a game).
 - You should see the System File Picker again, if ScummVM tries to save /
 write something to a path that is not covered by previously allowed
 permissions.

 I am also not sure if clearing the permissions for the app, also clears
 the SAF permissions (I think it might not).

 Currently, the most certain way to clear those (SAF tokens/permissions) is
 to either uninstall the app and then reinstall it, or to delete its data
 (from Android's App Management) -- which is very similar to uninstalling
 and reinstalling and wipes Added games, configuration and any saved games
 from internal memory).
