That is the only possible one, since it is plain impossible to track moved files. It can be done *sometimes* only. A warning always is ways better than an inconsistent behaviour.

Nevertheless, even if it *was* possible it would be *wrong*! It was the user who moved the file, and he did so for some reason (otherwise he would obviously not do that)! What you are saying is the very same nonsense as if, in case you parked your car round the corner, you wanted your house door to move automatically and without any warning round the corner too.

So my app should ask the user to locale a thousand files because he renamed his disk?
Renaming the disk (or some folder name in the documents's path) while a document is open should let all save operations fail?

Great user experience!
