I'm not sure what you mean by an example.  I'm not clear on why this
method even exists or what it is currently used for.  But the fact of
the matter is that if any user attempts to use it to find the location
of a sources file the value this method currently returns will not be
the location of an actual file at least in my case.  It seems to me the
intent of this method is to return the full path name of the sources
file that was loaded when the image was loaded.  That's exactly what my
proposed fix does.  However maybe I don't understand the point of the
method.

I don't get any warning.  I just tried it in a workspace.  Maybe the
warning comes up in a different context like if I used it in a method
typed into a browser?
