 Hello!

 - DETAILS:

 Using the Android version 2.7.0 BETA from Google Play.

 Using Android 10 (MIUI 12) Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite.

 I have set in the SDcard like "<SDcard>/Juegos/ScummVM/" with three
 subfolders: "Juegos" (Games), "Saves" and "Xtra".

 - PREPARATION:

 Using as explained the new SAF feature, i selected that
 "<SDcard>/Juegos/ScummVM/" to be accessed by ScummVM, and selected the
 Xtra folder, and most important the Save folder, and added two games as
 usual.

 Everything worked, i can save and load files stored in
 "<SDcard>/Juegos/ScummVM/Saves", is using assets from the Xtra folder, and
 the games can be played.

 - ISSUE

 However, every time i start up ScummVM again it shows a message: "Save
 Path Error: Unable to access the globally set save path! Please revert to
 default from ScummVM Options" (Screenshot attached).

 In Paths, the Save path is changed to default internal path
 ("/data/user/0/org.scummvm.scummvm/files/saves"). Obviously, the games
 don't found my saves that are in the SDcard save path.

 But i can change the save path again to the SDcard one at any moment and
 it works again normally (my saves are shown in the games, and i can save
 and load from there). But in the next restart is put to the default again.

 - RELATED

 Also, i noticed the Cloud saves fail to synchronise with the SDcard save
 path (it shows a message), but i can't be properly tested because
 everytime i restart ScummVM it defaults the Save path to the default
 internal path and the sync doesn't fail using that.
 To be noted, i can save and load from games, so access to the path at
 those moment is possible from ScummVM.
